Workflows Just Got Collaborative
You can now collaborate in workflows, in real-time. That's right, workflows just became collaborative. 🤝 What's new Until now, workflows were owned solely by whoever built them. If you needed to improve a colleague's workflow, whether that meant fixing a node, refining a prompt, or adding a step, duplicating it was your only option. The original stayed untouched, two versions quickly fell out of sync, and your workspace gradually accumulated a collection of nearly identical workflows. Now workflows work more like a shared document. The best version of a workflow can be improved by your whole team, and a single canonical workflow can replace the long tail of forks. Share a workflow in seconds Open a workflow you can edit and click the share action in the header. Search for a teammate by name or email, add them as editors, and confirm. They get access immediately and the workflow shows up in their Shared with me list. A "Shared with me" section The workflows list now has a Shared with me section alongside Created by you, so the workflows your teammates have given you access to are easy to find, and your list stays scannable as your team grows. Edit together, live Multiple editors can work in the same workflow at the same time, see each other's changes, and co-build without overwriting one another. It's the same collaborative experience you already know from Canvas. While a workflow is running, it's locked for edits so nothing changes mid-execution. A few things to know
Sharing is within your workspace for now. Cross-workspace and external sharing aren't supported yet.
Coming as quick follow-ups
Any editor can add or remove collaborators. The workflow's original creator is always protected and can't be removed. Subscription admins can step into any workflow in the workspace when they need to, whether for governance, recovery, or reassignment.







FAQ
Q: Do I still have to duplicate a workflow to change it?
A: No. If you have Edit access, you change the workflow directly. Duplicating is now a choice, not the only option.
Q: If I share a workflow, can people break it?
A: Only people you give Edit access to can change its structure.
Q: Will everyone in my workspace suddenly see my workflows?
A: New workflows are visible to the workspace by default so the team can find them.
Q: Can someone remove me from a workflow I created?
A: No. The creator is always protected and can't be removed by other collaborators.
Q: Can I share a workflow with someone outside my workspace?
A: Not yet! Sharing is within your workspace for now. External and cross-workspace sharing isn't supported in this release.
Q: What happens if the person who created a workflow leaves?
A: The workflow stays, and ownership transfers to a workspace admin so it's never orphaned.
Q: What about my existing workflows?
A: Existing workflows move to the new shared model so the team can collaborate on them too.
