Export a workflow

Exporting a workflow means downloading from the NL Flow Web application site a ZIP file with the .wfpk extension containing all the necessary to re-create the workflow by importing the file.
The file contains the workflow definition and all non-standard components. For example, if the workflow contains blocks corresponding to symbolic or ML models, these will be included in the file, while processors, operators and Knowledge Models will only be referenced in the definition. This can make a big difference in file size.

The file can be used as a security backup and to recreate the workflow in the same or another NL Flow installation.

  • To export a workflow from the Workflows view of the dashboard:

    • Select the workflow to export.
    • Select Export on the area's toolbar.

  • To export a workflow from the workflow's editor or from the Test tab of the workflow's workspace:

    • Open the workflow
    • Select the Editor tab or the Test tab.
    • Select the ellipsis at the end of the toolbar below the main one at the top right of the page then choose Export workflow.

In both cases, a dialog appears.

  • If you want to change the default filename, enter a new name in the Filename field.
  • Select Download to confirm the operation.
