Hey everyone, I’m Kate, a product manager at Bubble focused on modernizing our editor interface. Last week, we rolled out a new Workflow tab experience in beta to improve your experience interacting with, managing, and building your app’s workflows. With the new Workflow tab, you’ll more easily organize and navigate through your workflows. I’d like to walk through some of the new functionality you will see in this experience, as well as respond to some feedback we’ve already received. [image] The new workflow tab includes: Improved organization with a new folder side panel New search bar: At the top of the workflow list, you can search by workflow name or action name. See the results highlighted in yellow, making it easier to navigate to what you’re looking for. You can add, edit, and delete workflow folders like before. You can always move workflows to new folders via drag and drop or via the right-click context menu. Other features in the context menu include: rename workflow, add/view notes, cut/copy/paste, change color, disable workflow, and delete workflow. View more about your workflows Use of colors help you dynamically see which color label you have placed on a workflow (these are the same colors assigned to the “boxes” in the current UI). Use of icons help you dynamically see which event type triggers the workflow. See how many actions and notes are associated with the workflow right under the workflow name. The number of notes is the total number of notes across the workflow, event, and all actions within the workflow. More data about your workflow upon hover. As you hover your cursor over any workflow, you’ll immediately see more data about the workflow: event name, full conditional, and element preview (when applicable). New Workflow canvas The canvas is the first place you’ll notice that we’ve de-coupled the workflow name from the event name. Now, when you want to rename your workflow, you don’t lose context on what the event type was that triggered the workflow. Interactions with actions are now smoother. Drag and drop workflow actions around the canvas and add new actions in between actions or at the end of the list New minimap to show where you are in the list. Navigating the workflow tab The stacked-looking actions indicate that the action triggers another workflow. You can hover over this type of action to directly navigate to the event that gets triggered. Viewing what workflows trigger the workflow you’re viewing just got easier. Click the “# trigger(s)” next to View Notes to navigate to any workflow that triggers your current workflow in one click. Share, bookmark, and save your place with new URL paths for workflow. Now, you can directly navigate to exact workflows or workflow actions via URL. [image] What we’ve heard from you and what we’re doing about it Since we launched we’ve seen your forum comments, tweets, feedback via the editor feedback form, and write-ins to our Success team. Thank you for the feedback! Here are some of the themes we’re working on addressing: Alphabetically organizing the workflow folders to match current behavior [image]New Workflow tab - Discussion Megathread In the workflow editor side panel, the list of folders cannot be sorted. Please provide the ability to sort folders by name, allowing us to rename folders accordingly. Resize folder side panel like in Elements tree [image]New Workflow tab - Discussion Megathread Allow user to set width of sidebar …like the elements tree. Organization of workflows by event type [image]New Workflow tab - Discussion Megathread I could’t find how to organize by trigger type (page load, element click etc) but think this is definitely the right approach. See the full workflow at a glance [image]New Workflow tab - Discussion Megathread the most frustrating thing is that one doesn’t get an overview of the full workflow without having to scroll or click: Before you could easily switch between different workflows and see the full workflow at one glance immediately As we mentioned, this release is currently in beta. You can choose to opt into the new feature either through the banner on the Workflow tab or through Settings>Versions>Beta Features list. While in beta, you can navigate between the new and old experience. Thank you to everyone who has already tried out the new UI and given feedback. We really appreciate hearing from you to make the experience best fit your needs - keep the feedback coming! Kate

Loving the new workflow editor so far. One suggestion would be to improve the visual cues for disabled workflows. It kind of just makes them dimmer, but an icon or strike-through might make it clearer when looking through lots of workflows

Hey @kate.mcnally - can we have the option to delete a workflow from the active workflow pane? Having the same context menu that appears from the list of workflows available in this toolbar would be helpful. [image] Just ran into a situation where my workflow wasn’t visible on the left but was the actively edited workflow. I wanted to delete it but had no option (how I got here was filtering for an action in the workflow that was subsequently deleted). Thanks!

Amazing all the great input given here. What a change from the initial delivery. Makes you wonder, would it not have been faster to get a room, perhaps even digital room, get some people in there like yourself, go over some Figma designs, change them on the fly and then implement it. Very fascinating to see that the more money and people start working inside Bubble, the more they actually indeed seem to work…inside. Which is what you see with every company that grows by the way. More money, more people, less time one on one with customers. Fascinating.

[image] sem: . Makes you wonder, would it not have been faster to get a room, perhaps even digital room, get some people in there like yourself, They do do user research - the compact view was first trialled in a user research demo before being built/released in the beta.

Seems the wrong users or wrong executing then. Anyway, glad we are getting there.

With all this room, just let me select multiple workflows at once, so I can view them side by side. It’s now more difficult to manage multiple worflows at once and the only thing holding me back from switching

Hi Bubblers! I’m excited to share an update on some new features we’ve just launched for the Workflow Tab beta experience, along with a preview of upcoming improvements. We just shipped the ability to organize your workflows by folder or event type! This new toggle is located in the top-right corner of your workflow list, allowing you to switch between views whenever you want. [image] We have also rolled out several bug fixes, most notably an enhancement that makes the Notes icon on actions clickable so you can access the Notes panel quickly. If you encounter any issues, please continue to report them — your feedback is invaluable. Here’s a sneak peek at some features currently in the works: Grid view: We’re adding a grid view to the left-hand workflow list, providing a clear overview of all workflows on your page at a glance. Zoom controls: Zoom in and out of your workflow canvas to adjust the view to your screen size, giving you more flexibility and control. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue rolling out new features and improvements! Zoe

[image] Zoe: Grid view: We’re adding a grid view to the left-hand workflow list, providing a clear overview of all workflows on your page at a glance. PSA, this sounds small, but I saw it in a UX research beta and it helps so much with understanding the ‘geography’ of your app. Objectively, it shows the same info as a list, but it just feels easier to understand, as someone used to the tiles in the workflow tab of the past few years.

Honestly the image bellow is what i was expecting, i hate conditionals being shown in a blob of texts. Jesus Christ just do a node/path system that can use some the space properly [image]

Something like this with a window manager to display WFs side by side or expand them to fill the entire window plus using nodes in a canvas instead of a static list would make me switch immediately from the old WF editor. [image]
