Managing flows

This article shows you how to manage your flows in the mabl app, including how to…

• Find and organize flows
• Update flow details
• Review and roll back changes
• Clean up flows you no longer need

Finding and organizing flows

You can search for a flow by label in the app and in the Trainer.

In the app, click on the search icon in the top right corner. Enter the flow label and click on the Flows tab. The search panel renders a list of flows with a matching flow name or label.

In the Trainer, click on the plus sign to add a new step and select Flows. In the search input, use the following syntax to search flows by label: label:{label-name}.

Updating flow details

To update a flow's name or labels, click on the pencil icon on the flow details page.

Reviewing and rolling back changes

Compare versions

To compare different versions of a flow, click on the Compare tab of the flow details page. Select the versions you want to compare from the Base version and Compare version dropdowns. Red indicates a step removed between versions, while green indicates a step added.

Comparing flow versions

In addition to comparing flow steps, you can also compare each version's values for flow data-driven variables and flow parameters, if applicable.

Go back to a previous version

To roll back to a previous flow version, click on the History tab of the flow details page. Identify the version you want to use from the version dropdown, and click on Save as latest to revert to the previous version.

Cleaning up flows you no longer need

Deleting flows

To delete a flow from your workspace, go to Tests > Flows and click on the trash icon for the flow you want to delete. You may only delete flows that are not used in any tests. To see which tests use a particular flow, click on the information icon next to the number in the Used by column.

Some other points to keep in mind:

• If you delete a flow by accident, you can recover it within 30 days of deletion from the activity feed: Settings > Activity Feed.
• Deleting a test does not delete any flows within the test.

Removing flows from tests

To remove a flow from a test, open the Trainer or API Test Editor and click on the Remove flow button.
