Workflow does not being false

[shrikantkhodke]

Whenever I checkout a workflow, the workflow is presented in both the checked out and published lists as published=false and published=true respectively. Why is that workflow is in both lists?

Hi @shrikantkhodke ,

For a single already published workflow, wherever you will be editing or wish to update it, you will checkout the workflow and will make the required changes.

In between that time when you are making the updation or changes, in the instance if some request or record calls that workflow it will run the published one.

Once your changes are made and you publish the new workflow, after that your old workflow will automatically become published=false and your new updated workflow will be taken into consideration in the instance.

Basically for the time being, when you are working on the workflow and in between some request require that flow to run, for that sake one copy of flow is preserved and published till the time you don't make your new updated workflow published
