Vacation Proofing Your Workflows Event #1 Recap

[MeganDibble]

This winter, we hosted a series of webinar events on Community around one theme--preparing your workflows for vacation. In other words, designing Alteryx workflows to be error-proof and well-documented, ensuring anyone on your team can run them. 

Each event was an hour long and packed with insights from current and former Alteryx ACEs. If you couldn't catch the events live, don't worry! We've highlighted some great moments from the first event in this blog, and we will post recaps of the second and third events in the coming weeks. Let's jump in!

What happens when your workflow is affected by data changes? @MarqueeCrew and @AbhilashR discussed breaking the workflow on purpose in order to prevent future errors.
