How to copy workflow from one instance to another

[johannes5]

Hi ServiceNow Community Developers,

I was working on a workflow in dev and I got stuck, I need a fresh version of it from my test instance so I can start on a fresh copy. Would you please give me some guidance as to what steps I need to take in order to copy the entire workflow from test to dev. I tried the export xml / import xml but that does not copy everything, it only copies a blank copy of the workflow with no workflow stages and no workflow activities.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Johannes

You should just be able to open an update set in your test instance, check out and publish the workflow, then move that into your dev instance and copy over the more recent one. Or you could make a copy in your test instance and move that with an update set.
