Replay Panel

The Replay Panel sits between the canvas and the Property Panel. It lets you visualize past workflow executions and run live tests directly from the modeler.

Visibility

The Replay Panel is visible whenever the model has replay or test capabilities configured. It auto-collapses when no replay data is loaded and auto-expands when data becomes available.

For new models that have not been saved yet, the panel is hidden since there is no execution history to display and testing requires a saved model.

Loading replay data

  1. Select an event node on the canvas.
  2. Click the reload button in the event's Property Panel.
  3. The Replay Panel expands and shows the execution history.

If multiple executions exist, an entry selector dropdown lets you switch between them. Each entry shows a timestamp and metadata about the execution.

Once replay data is loaded:

  • Step list: Each execution step is listed with an icon indicating its type (started, execute, condition passed, condition failed).
  • Click a step: The corresponding node or edge is highlighted on the canvas, and the Property Panel shows its configuration.
  • Forward/Back buttons: Navigate sequentially through steps.

Playback controls

  • Play: Automatically steps through the execution at the selected speed.
  • Pause: Stops auto-play at the current step.
  • Speed: Choose 0.5x, 1x, or 2x playback speed.
  • Stop: Exits replay mode entirely.

Visual indicators

During replay, the canvas shows:

  • Highlighted nodes: The current step's node is highlighted.
  • Edge indicators: Circular indicators appear at edge midpoints:
  • Green with a checkmark for conditions that passed.
  • Red with an X for conditions that failed.

Step data

When a step is selected, the panel shows the Step Data section with token values available at that point in the execution. Token data is displayed in a collapsible tree structure.

Drag tokens into forms

You can drag individual tokens from the Step Data section directly into configuration form fields that support tokens. See Tokens & Data for details.

Info popup

Click the i button in a step's header to view execution metadata:

  • Step type
  • Component ID
  • Successor ID (for edge steps)
  • Condition ID (for condition evaluations)
  • Error information (if applicable)

Global tokens

If the site provides global tokens (like [site:name] or [current-date:long]), they appear in a Global Tokens section at the bottom of the Replay Panel. These are always visible, regardless of whether replay data is loaded.

Global tokens are also draggable into configuration form fields.

Template tokens

When the model is marked as a template, a Template Tokens section appears alongside the global tokens. These tokens are specific to the template's context and are provided by the backend. They behave the same as global tokens -- always visible and draggable into configuration form fields.

See Tokens & Data for details on using tokens.

Empty state messages

When no replay data is loaded, the panel shows context-specific guidance:

Situation Message
Replay available Select an event and use the reload button to load past execution data.
Replay + Test available Shows both replay and test instructions.
Test available, event selected Click Test to execute the workflow.
Test available, no event selected Select an event and click Test.
