I saw that once too. I dream about it daily.

Great compilation. So dozens and dozens of outstanding issues weeks after Bubble was gonna force this upon us for not particular reason. Amazing how much time and energy bubblers have to spend to keep Bubble from going off the rails.

Awesome list. I have a list in OneNote what annoys me in bubble in general, I think I should follow and share mine. Maybe some people will challenge some elements or tell me what’s the best override. Great job!

Sorry but I can’t take this list seriously when you only use 10 angry emojis for such a serious problem.

Hi Bubble community,
As we mentioned in March, today we’re announcing that the new workflow tab experience is now officially available to everyone. A complete list of everything that is included in this update can be found here. For additional information about the workflow tab, check out our manual.
Since then, we’ve been beta testing and making improvements based on your valuable feedback. Over the past few weeks we’ve gotten some really helpful community input that we made sure to prioritize before this GA release. Today this update, as well as the two new improvements below, is now the default experience for all Bubble users.
- Condition visibility improvements: You can now search by the text inside a condition using the search dropdown, and enable “Show Conditions” to display them directly in the workflow list.
- Read-only safeguards: To get to parity with the legacy workflow tab, now in read-only mode, the new UI now reflects that status more clearly — plus buttons and arrows to add actions are disabled, context menus prevent adding new events, renaming is blocked, and the edit menu is limited to copying actions.
What’s next?
The new workflow tab lays the foundation for future functionality—like better handling of complex logic (e.g. conditionals, loops) and improved navigation across workflows that reference each other. Thanks to everyone who has been trying it out over the last few weeks. As always, we welcome your feedback in the forums or through support.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We’re excited to see what you’ll build with these new tools!

This is extremely disappointing.
The list I posted earlier (here: Kelly's Bubble Blahs) originally had 6 requests in the Workflows tab section. With the new editor, it has 23. There are at least 17 NEW problems that did not exist before.
I’d like to be hopeful for the future, but at this point, it’s just an objective downgrade for our experience and productivity. And the fact that even after all this feedback, the feature was still pushed out and can’t be turned off is just so upsetting.

I wonder if the Bubble team has ever tried using Bubble seriously for a day, maybe a few hours?
Because it’s not possible! There are so many requests for improvements that would increase productivity, and it seems that lately the opposite has happened, they are reducing our productivity.
I know, changes are complicated, more than 90% of people are averse to change. But changing something that is not yet properly suited for real use just because “in the future” new features will require this new structure. Well, with all the focus on AI that I’m seeing, these if/else/loop features will probably take a long time to implement. Until then, why not keep this WF “upgrade” as optional?

Very sad… developers’ productivity has decreased 10x as of today.

Love your tool! Can others vote on it?
This move confirms that most SaaS companies keep hiring LinkedIn Product/Project Managers with zero to no experience building products and all they know is to move Jira tasks around and attend meetings

Still so many bug and improvement to add on this new workflow editor to stay productive… it’s a shame not to still have choice tu use the old wf editor .
I have 2 tickets unsolved about the new workflow editor and 2 others waiting for answer … and that is just for the new workflow éditor …
And you really think it is ready to be the default one ?…
So so disapointed

Is there a way to turn this off or revert back to the old workflow editor?

Wow, just had to refresh and ended up in the new editor.
You guys really just rammed it through without even as much as a heads-up?

Yeah this would be if they pushed the new responsive editor down your throats. At least they could have let “Legacy” apps have the old view and made this default on all new apps. So many apps were not organized and designed for the new system and its a shell shock…

The reason they don’t do this is that it means maintaining two codebases, and part of the reason so many bugs went unfixed on the old view is that they were overhauling it entirely from the ground up.
That said, actions speak louder than words so we’ll see what happens, and hope this doesn’t get added to the list of Bubble’s half-baked feature released, just so that we can have native looping in 2027.

Terrible update. Why are you forcing us in an UX that is not designed for complex apps.

I understand, they could have had at least added a similar feature like the responsive launch. To make it easy to organize your existing workflows.
Compared to just reloading a page in one view and then seeing another with no way to go back.
I do not disagree that multiple features are harder to maintain but they could do a courtesy to the users and developers who use their platform.
