Do changes in copied workflow affect original workflow?

[Pauline Hild]

Hi everyone!

I want to copy an existing workflow and use it for another project. If I now change something in the copy of the workflow, will this also affect the original? If yes, is there a way to prevent this?

Kind regards,

Pauline

Hey Pauline, 

Your copied workflow will never impact your original workflow. 
Once you copy it it's a distinct workflow with no relationship back to the old one.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi @Pauline Hild ,

If you make changes to a copied workflow, the original workflow will NOT get affected. 
After you copy, both are two different workflows. 

Please note: If the copied workflow is used in many projects, then the changes will be applied to all projects.

Thanks for your answer. If I understand you correctly, changes in the copied workflow will not affect the original, but once I use the copied workflow again for multiple projects, it will?

Hi @Pauline Hild

 You got it right.

but once I use the copied workflow again for multiple projects, it will?  ---> Only copied workflow will be affected, not the Original one.
