Managing Workflows: Versions, Dry Run, Metrics, and Import/Export

ISO Mate gives you governance tools to change workflows safely and understand how they run: versioning, audit logs, dry run, metrics, execution history, and import and export. You reach them from a workflow’s detail view and the workflows list in the Workflow Builder. Each of these tools is available when its feature is enabled for your account, and access follows dedicated permissions.

Versions and restore

Every edit to a workflow is captured as a version. Open the Versions tab to review the history, compare a definition snapshot, and restore an earlier version. Restoring creates a new version with the same definition, so nothing is lost and the timeline stays intact.

Audit log

The Audit Log records definition changes over time, showing who made a change and which fields were added, removed, or changed. It is the fastest way to answer why a workflow behaves differently than it did last week.

Dry run

A Dry Run executes a workflow with no side effects, so you can validate logic before enabling it. Choose an existing entity from your account, or provide a synthetic entity as JSON to simulate a trigger without touching real data. The result shows the action plan, the intended side effect of each step, and the output data, so you can confirm the workflow does what you expect.

Metrics

The Metrics view reports success rate, total executions, throughput, failure counts, and execution duration over a chosen time window. A Metrics Overview across your workflows highlights the most active workflows and the highest failure workflows, so you can spot problems early. Metrics appear once executions have been recorded.

Execution history and retries

Every run is logged with a status and per-action output. Open an execution to view the full trace, including retry attempts and the input and output for each action. You can retry a failed or terminated execution, which starts a fresh attempt subject to the workflow’s rate limit. Per-action error handling and failure alerting help keep noisy failures under control.

Import and export

Export a workflow as portable JSON to move it between accounts or keep a backup. On import, the file is validated, and any account-specific references are surfaced as placeholders you map to resources in the destination account. Imported workflows are created disabled so you can review them before enabling. Use Export and Import from the workflow view.

Permissions

Governance actions follow their own permissions, including viewing metrics, managing versions, importing and exporting, and running workflows manually. Grant these through Roles and Permissions so the right people manage workflows without over-sharing access.

To build the workflows you will manage here, start with the Workflow Automation Overview, then see Workflow Triggers and Workflow Actions.
