# History

Appizap Workflow Builder creates a new version when you:

* Save your workflow.
* Restore an old version. Appizap Workflow Builder saves the latest version before restoring.
* Pull from a Git repository using `Source control`. Note that Appizap Workflow Builder saves versions to the instance database, not to Git.

{% hint style="info" %}
Workflow history is not the same as the list of Workflow-level executions." Executions are workflow runs. The executions list shows previous runs of the current workflow version. Copy previous executions to debug and re-run in your current workflow. Workflow history shows past versions of the workflow, such as versions with different nodes or parameter settings.
{% endhint %}
