Working with your team
Workflows live in a shared workspace, so everyone in it can open, run and improve them. Flero does not have live co-editing: there are no shared cursors, field locks or canvas comments. This page covers how to work on workflows together without stepping on each other.
Sharing a workflow
Every workflow has its own address, /workflow/<id>. To send a teammate straight to it:
- On the Workflows page, open the workflow card's menu and click Share. Flero copies the link ("Link copied to clipboard").
- Or copy the address bar while the workflow is open.
Anyone in the same workspace with access can open the link. People outside the workspace can't. To give someone access, invite them to the workspace.
To hand a workflow to a different workspace, export it to JSON and import it there.
Editing the same workflow
Two people can open the same workflow, but they don't see each other's changes as they happen. Each person edits their own copy in the browser.
When someone clicks Save, their copy replaces the saved workflow, so the last save wins. Nothing is lost for good: each save that changes the workflow creates a new version, and you can go back to any earlier one.
To avoid overwriting each other:
- Agree who is editing. One editor per workflow at a time is the simplest rule.
- Reload before you start. Open the workflow fresh so you begin from the latest saved version.
- Save often with a clear purpose, so each version is a meaningful checkpoint.
- Split big workflows. Convert parts into sub-workflows so different people can own different pieces.
Versions as a safety net
The version chip in the editor header (for example V12 active) opens the version list. From there you can look at an earlier version, make a version active, or save a new one. If a teammate's save went wrong, open the version before it and save it as a new version.
Automatic triggers always run the active version, so edits in progress don't reach production until someone makes them active. See Versions and activation.
Leaving notes for each other
Use sticky notes on the canvas to explain a tricky step or flag work in progress. Notes are saved with the workflow, so everyone who opens it sees them.
Who can do what
What each person can do depends on their workspace role: owner, admin, editor or viewer. See Roles & permissions.
Tips & gotchas
- Check the version before you save. If you opened an older version, Flero warns you with Editing Old Version and saves your work as a new version instead of changing the old one.
- Watch the run history. The executions list shows every run with its version, so you can see whose change a run used.
