How to Switch Between Multiple Workflows in Sparkforge
Workflow Switcher in Sparkforge's Advanced Builder opens a sidebar panel for quick search and recent workflows, then launches the chosen workflow in a new browser tab so your current canvas stays put.
Workflow Switcher is a left-sidebar tool in Advanced Builder that surfaces recent workflows and a quick search. Selecting a workflow opens it in a new browser tab while your current canvas stays open.
Why it helps
- Stay in flow: jump to another workflow without leaving the current builder tab.
- Side-by-side editing: compare logic branches in two browser tabs.
- Faster reuse: copy and paste actions or branches across workflows.
- No reloads: skip page reloads and re-searching.
- Lower error risk: keep the current canvas intact while exploring another flow.
How to open the Workflow Switcher
- Go to Automations > Workflows.
- Create a new workflow or open an existing one.
- Switch to Advanced Builder (not Standard).
- Click the Workflow Switcher button on the left sidebar, or press
Shift + W. - Use Quick Search or pick from Recent Workflows.
- Click a workflow to open it in a new tab.
