GoHighLevel Workflow History Guide

If you are switching from tools like ClickUp and want precise control over automation edits, this guide will show you how GoHighLevel workflow undo, redo, and change history work so you can safely experiment without losing progress.

The workflow history tools in GoHighLevel allow you to roll back changes, reapply actions, and review previous versions of your automations. This helps you troubleshoot issues, recover from mistakes, and manage complex edits with confidence.

Understanding GoHighLevel Workflow Undo, Redo, and History

Within each workflow, GoHighLevel records a timeline of your recent edits. The system tracks what was changed, who changed it, and when. You can move backward or forward through this history using dedicated buttons and a detailed change log.

These tools work at the workflow level, so each automation has its own history panel. As you build or optimize, you can reverse individual actions or jump back to a previous state.

How to Access Workflow History in GoHighLevel

To use the workflow history features, you must open a specific automation in the workflow builder.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.

  2. Navigate to Automation > Workflows.

  3. Select the workflow you want to edit and open it in the builder.

  4. Look to the top-right area of the builder toolbar to find the history controls and change log icon.

Once the builder is open, you can start using undo, redo, and the change history panel to manage your edits.

Using Undo in GoHighLevel Workflows

The undo feature in GoHighLevel lets you quickly reverse the most recent change you made in the workflow builder.

Steps to Undo Your Last Change

  1. In the workflow builder toolbar, find the Undo button (leftward arrow icon).

  2. Click the button once to reverse your most recent action.

  3. Click repeatedly to step further back through previous edits, one action at a time.

Typical actions you can undo include:

  • Adding a new action or trigger

  • Deleting a step

  • Changing settings on a workflow action

  • Reordering steps in the workflow

Undo only affects the editing session history and does not change contacts already processed by the automation. It simply reverts the structure and settings of the workflow itself.

Using Redo in GoHighLevel Workflows

The redo feature in GoHighLevel allows you to reapply an action you just reversed with undo. This is useful when you are comparing different versions of a workflow and want to move back and forth between them.

Steps to Redo a Reverted Change

  1. After using Undo, locate the Redo button (rightward arrow icon) in the workflow toolbar.

  2. Click once to reapply the last action you undid.

  3. Click multiple times to move forward through several reversed actions.

Redo works only while you remain within the same edit chain. If you make a new change after undoing, the redo stack for later actions is usually cleared, so plan comparisons accordingly.

Viewing Workflow Change History in GoHighLevel

Beyond simple undo and redo, GoHighLevel provides a detailed history panel where you can see a list of recent edits and the exact changes applied to the workflow.

How to Open the Change History Panel

  1. Inside the workflow builder, locate the History or Change Log icon near the top-right of the interface.

  2. Click the icon to open the workflow change history panel on the side of the screen.

The panel shows a chronological list of edits made to that workflow, often including:

  • The type of change (added step, updated setting, deleted action, etc.)

  • The date and time of the change

  • The user who made the modification

Reviewing Individual History Entries in GoHighLevel

You can click individual entries in the GoHighLevel history list to understand how the workflow evolved.

  1. Scroll through the change history until you find the desired entry.

  2. Click the item to highlight it and review its details.

  3. Use undo and redo in combination with the history list to reach the state that matches the version you want.

This makes it easier to audit who changed what and when, especially in shared accounts where multiple team members edit the same workflow.

Restoring Previous Workflow States in GoHighLevel

By combining undo, redo, and the visual history, you can effectively restore a previous configuration of a workflow in GoHighLevel without fully rebuilding it.

Practical Process to Roll Back Changes

  1. Open the workflow and view the change history panel.

  2. Locate the point in time before an unwanted change occurred.

  3. Use the undo button repeatedly until the workflow matches that earlier state.

  4. If you go too far, use redo to move one or more steps forward again.

This back-and-forth process gives you fine-grained control over the automation design and configuration.

Limitations of Workflow History in GoHighLevel

While the history tools in GoHighLevel are powerful, they do have some boundaries you should keep in mind when planning major automation changes.

  • History is generally limited to a recent range of edits within the builder, not long-term versioning.

  • Undo and redo affect the workflow structure and settings, not contacts who have already run through the automation.

  • Some large or system-level changes may not be fully reversible, depending on how they are processed.

  • If you leave the page or lose connection, parts of the temporary history chain may be reset.

For critical automations, consider documenting key versions, duplicating workflows before major revisions, or exporting settings where available.

Best Practices for Using GoHighLevel Workflow History

To get the most value from undo, redo, and change history in GoHighLevel, follow these practical tips:

  • Make incremental edits: Change one area at a time so each history step is clear and easy to reverse.

  • Test after key adjustments: Run test contacts or simulate scenarios to confirm each change behaves as expected.

  • Use clear naming: Label actions and branches descriptively to make history entries easier to interpret.

  • Duplicate critical workflows: Before major overhauls, create a copy so you have a stable fallback version beyond the built-in history.
