How do I manage version control for my Flowise JSON files?

All answers to this question.

For a long time, the only way to version Flowise was to manually export the JSON and commit it to Git. However, with the recent "Enterprise" and "Pro" updates, Flowise has introduced Workspaces and basic versioning within the UI. If you are on the self-hosted free version, I highly recommend setting up a small CI/CD script that pulls the JSON from the Flowise API and pushes it to a private repo every time you save. This gives you a full audit trail of how your Flowise logic has evolved over time, which is essential for regulated industries.

Can we use different "Environments" (Dev, Staging, Prod) within the same Flowise instance?

• The best way to do this in Flowise is through "Global Variables." You can define different API keys or DB URLs as variables. When you move a flow from your Dev Flowise instance to Prod, the flow stays the same, but it pulls the local environment's variables. This makes the Flowise deployment pipeline much cleaner and prevents accidentally hitting your production database during a local testing session.

I just wish the Flowise canvas had a "Comment" or "Note" node to explain complex parts of the flow to my teammates.

• They actually added a "Sticky Note" component recently, Deborah! It’s perfect for documenting why a specific Flowise node was configured a certain way for future reference.
