Hello everyone, 

 

I've been looking for a way to control my department workflows (In the designer), I found some articles about Git but I'm just wondering is there a better way to do it. and if there is a recommended method provided by Alteryx 

 

 

Thank you.

Hi @Nada_Alkhalaf_ ,

 

this THREAD my be useful at is showing how to use the XML from each workflow in a Git repository.

@tlarsen7572 walk you through how to do it.

 

Aside fomr this, not really, although you can open the XML in Alteryx to monitor the changes between manually created incremental versions using a flat ASCII (.flat) format.

 

 

I hope this helps,

 

M.

The compare workflows (2021.3 - advanced options) is a good first step.

Hi @mcelevey

 

Thank you for replying!

I've already seen the thread and I think it is the best solution for now, I hope Alteryx does something about it.

 

 

Kind Regards,
