Every workflow in MergePoint has two layers: a Draft and a Live version. Understanding the difference is essential before sharing a workflow with your team or connecting it to a trigger.
| Draft | Live | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Your working copy — the version you edit | The published snapshot — what actually runs |
| Who sees it | Only editors in the builder | Everyone — trigger-linked, task-linked, form-linked |
| When it updates | Every time you save a change | Only when you explicitly publish |
| Version number | None — there is only ever one Draft | Increments each time you publish (v1, v2, …) |
A Draft badge appears in the top bar whenever your Draft has changes that haven't been published to Live yet.
When your workflow is ready:
The Draft badge clears, and the workflow is now live. Any trigger connected to this workflow will use the new version on the next run.
First publish: A brand-new workflow has no Live version until you publish for the first time. Triggers will not activate and forms will not be accessible to end users until that first publish.
Click the version picker in the top bar (shown as "Draft" or "Live") to open the version panel.
The panel shows:
Clicking a previous version loads it as a read-only preview in the canvas.
To restore a previous version:
Rolling back only replaces the Draft — it does not immediately go live. You always publish explicitly.
If you edit a workflow after publishing, the top bar shows a Draft badge. This means the Live version and your Draft are out of sync. Runs will still use the current Live version until you publish again.
