Just as the subject says, I am wondering if I upgrade Alteryx the compatibility of older workflows won't be affected.

 

Thanks for the help!

Generally @MarqueeCrew is correct, but be mindful of deprecated tools. When it's time to retire a tool, Alteryx will flag the tool icon with a orange sign that indicates it will be removed from future versions of Designer.

If you install a new version of Alteryx and see tools in your workflows flagged as deprecated, be sure to replace them before you upgrade again. Once a deprecated tool is gone, the workflow is left with a black "?" tool icon and it will error.
