Rename Workflow Name

Would be great to have the ability to rename an existing workflow without creating a copy of it and having to delete the original workflow etc. Thanks.

      Looks like this just dropped! Glad we can now rename workflows...


      However, please see my findings related to issues now with instances. We will now have a new challenge that lies ahead of us when searching for instances against a particular workflow, if it was renamed.

      Hi all,

      Thank you for your votes and input into this idea. This feature is well underway, and planned for release end of March.

      This feature is strictly for Publishing workflows only, so you will be able to publish as new, publish over existing, and publish and rename.

      Draft workflows are out of this scope.

      I'll endeavour to update this ticket as we progress, but I would recommend referring to release notes and our in product What's new, which will be updated immediately.


      Regards,

      Kate Huynh

      Another issue we noted is when you use "save as" to rename your workflow (which creates a separate copy) you lose all your version history.

      We were advised this was "planned", can someone confirm and if so, when is the ETA for this release?

    Keep same URL when changing workflow name

    It would be useful if a workflow's URL did not automatically change if the workflow's name is changed. Recently one of our departments changed its name, and that name was part of the name of one of our workflows. When I changed the name, it basica...

    I find it problematic that there is no easy way of renaming published workflows in NWC. Instead, a copy workflow is created with the new name, while the original one is left active. This causes more than one issue, one being duplicate SharePoint t...
