Choose specific runs when updating from workflow changes
When you push a workflow change to runs that are already going, you choose which runs receive it. It is not all or nothing.
Choosing the runs
After editing a workflow, click Update Runs in the editor toolbar. The dialog lists every in-progress run that is eligible, each with a tick box and a link to open it.
- Every run starts ticked, so clicking straight through updates all of them.
- Select All at the top clears or re-ticks the whole list in one click.
- Open a run in a new tab from its link if you need to look before deciding.
Click Update Selected Runs and only the ticked runs change.
When being selective matters
Updating everything is usually right, so reach for the tick boxes when it is not:
- One team asked for the change. A workflow shared across departments does not have to change for everyone at once.
- A run is nearly finished. Adding steps to a run that is one step from done creates work nobody expected.
- You want to try it on one run first before committing the rest.
A run you skip is not permanently excluded. As long as it stays in progress and nobody customizes it, it will appear again the next time you update.
