Edit your workflow

From Nintex Automation (5.7) onwards there are two different apps for SharePoint. The legacy Nintex K2 for SharePoint: used for SharePoint on-premises and upgraded environments for SharePoint Online, and Nintex Automation for SharePoint: used on new installations for SharePoint Online. From Nintex Automation (5.8) onwards you can migrate your existing SharePoint Online solutions from Nintex K2 for SharePoint to Nintex Automation for SharePoint using the Nintex K2 for SharePoint SPFx migration tool.

From the Application page, you can edit or update an existing workflow as follows:

  • Select the workflow from the item list and click the Edit toolbar icon
  • Right-click the workflow and select the Edit function from the menu

Toolbar icons - workflow

When you select a workflow from the Application page, click the following tool bar icons to interact with the workflow:

  • Edit - Click to open the selected workflow in the Workflow Designer.
  • Delete - Click to remove the selected workflow. You can delete the workflow from only the Application, only the Server, or both. Additionally, you can delete all versions of the workflow, any running instances (workflow items that have not completed yet), and any historical data logged around the workflow.
