How does people make change that required significant testing after a workflow had gone live?

Do they make a copy and just switch over? I would hate to tell end users to update to a different URL.

HI ​@RC1101,

This isn't the best approach for production, but if you need to proceed, please follow these steps.

  1. Open the workflow
  2. Save It. This creates a draft.  You can now develop the workflow without affecting the current production workflow.
  3. In the designer, you can click on the Workflow Testing tab to test the draft workflow.
  4. When you are ready for production, you can click publish.  This will publish your draft workflow into production. I am assuming that the workflow has a start form. This URL will not change, so users will not need to be redirected.

I can save it but can’t publish to development. look like only 1 type can be publish.

for significant change, we will have business owner to do their own test and not doing it ourselves
