📌 Notes on the Editor and Background Saving

Leave notes on your automation and its components, and let the editor save your work in the background.

You can now add a general note to the automation, and a note to any component. Notes support markdown, so you can add headings, lists, and links. A note like “why this condition is like this” is still there three months later, for you or for a teammate who opens the automation. The editor also saves in the background, so closing a tab in a long session doesn’t wipe your work.

What’s new

• Automation note. Add a general note about the whole automation: what it does, who owns it, or what to check before changing it.

• Component notes. Add a note on any component to explain a choice, such as why a condition is set the way it is.

• Markdown support. Format your notes with markdown to keep them readable.

• Auto Save. The editor saves your automation automatically every 5 minutes.

Editor settings

Two new settings in Editor Settings control these features:

• Auto Save: Automatically saves every 5 minutes. On by default.

• Show Component Notes: Automatically displays notes on components when the editor opens. Off by default.
