Add an editable descriptions on workflow page on Alteryx Server

I would like the ability to add a workflow description on Alteryx server.  This step would be done after the workflow is published, this way future edits can be made without having to republish the workflow.  A checkbox to allow HTML content would also be appreciated.

Yes - would love to see this functionality. We sometimes have multiple versions of a workflow published to a collection and it's very difficult to understand the differences

Hi,

This functionality already available in gallery while you publishing workflow. Please look at below link

I think this is a good idea as would like the ability to edit the description through the web gallery rather than having to republish from designer with new content.

II think this suggestion needs reactivated. Yes you can add comments when you publish a workflow, but if those need updated for some reason you have to republish (which seems silly just to update the workflow server comments without any other changes).  Also, being able to update comments from the gallery server gets around the issue where the default comment when replacing a workflow is "Package replaced" with no option to change, adjust, or add details.
