How to backup dataflows?

Hi, We have started using dataflows extensively, and I am concerned that a dataflow could accidentaly be deleted or changed with no way to reverse it. Is there no built-in way to recover a dataflow ...

    Hi magnus_b ,

     

    There is no way to recover a dataflow that has been deleted. You can make a copy of the dataflow in advance.

     

    You can learn how to make a copy of a dataflow through this video:

Thank you! I was not aware of this option. This is simple enough that it will do the trick. We will just export .json files at a regular interval to keep a backup.
