If someone updates a workflow while you still have it open, Intellistack Streamline may show a short message telling you to refresh. That keeps you from working on an old copy and helps avoid conflicts with newer saves.
When you might see this
You can see this message when:
- You have the same workflow open in more than one tab and you save or change it in one tab. The other tab can be out of date until you refresh.
- You have the workflow open in more than one browser (for example, Chrome and Edge) and a change is saved elsewhere.
- Another person edits the same workflow while you have it open. Their save can make your view stale.
Any of those situations can trigger the reminder to refresh.
What to do
- Read the message - It indicates your page is not showing the latest version of the workflow.
- Refresh the page - Click the Refresh button or use your browser’s refresh (or reload) so the editor loads the current workflow from the server.
- Continue working - After refresh, you are on the latest version; save as usual.
If you had unsaved changes only in that stale tab, treat this like any other case where the server has newer data: refresh replaces what’s on screen with what’s saved.
Why this exists
Workflows should not be edited as if two different versions were both “current.” Showing a short message and asking for a refresh:
- Reduces confusion when multiple tabs or browsers are open.
- Lowers the chance of overwriting someone else’s work or mixing old and new edits.
- Makes sure what you see matches what is saved on the server.
Tips
- One active editing session per workflow when possible, especially on shared workflows.
- If you use two tabs on purpose, refresh the inactive tab after you save in the other.
- If the message appears after a teammate edited the workflow, refresh before making more changes so you are not building on outdated steps or settings.
