n8n version control

Version control for your n8n workflows.

Editing in n8n is live and permanent — no commits, no history, no diff, no way to see who changed what. Keel gives your workflows a real version history without changing how you build.

n8n has no undo across sessions

Once a workflow is saved, the previous version is gone. You can't see what changed between last week and today, can't tell which node someone reconfigured, and can't roll back to the version that actually worked.

How Keel versions n8n

Every save, snapshotted

The agent captures each version automatically and computes a node-level diff — added, removed, renamed, reconfigured — ignoring editor noise like moving a node.

Plain-English history

See a readable timeline per workflow: "2 nodes changed (HTTP Request: parameters changed); 1 added (Slack)" — not a wall of raw JSON.

Releases & rollback

Tag any snapshot as a release of record, then export importable JSON to roll back to a known-good version.

Audit across clients

Multi-client workspaces keep each client's history separate, so you always know what changed where.

Find out what changed before your client does.

Keel runs a lightweight agent next to your n8n — snapshots, diffs, alerts, and rollback, with your secrets and API key never leaving your box. Free forever on one instance.

Questions

Can you do version control in n8n?

Not natively. n8n saves overwrite the previous state. Keel adds external version control — snapshots, diffs, history, and rollback — without changing your workflow.

How does the diff work?

Keel matches nodes by their stable id and compares them, ignoring position noise, so you only see real changes. You can try the exact engine free at /tools/n8n-diff.

Can I roll back a workflow?

Yes — tag a snapshot as a release and export the importable JSON to restore that version in n8n.

See every change before it breaks a client.
