Add a Workflow Via the Server Admin Interface
Curators (Server admins) can upload workflows directly via the Admin interface. If you aren't a curator go to Save a Workflow to Alteryx Server for steps to upload a workflow to Server.
Note
Starting in version 2025.2, Alteryx has decoupled Designer and Server updates. You can now use an older version of Server with assets (workflows, Analytic Apps, and macros) produced with a newer version of Designer. For important details and ongoing updates, go to Designer Server Version Compatibility.
If you attempt to upload an asset directly to the Server UI via the Admin Workflows view, you’ll receive a warning about the asset being created in a newer version of Designer. You are allowed to proceed.
This warning message displays for workflows, Analytic Apps, and macros: You uploaded to an older version of Alteryx Server than your Designer version. Some functionality may be unsupported or not work as expected.
Begin by saving your workflows as an Alteryx workflow package (YXZP) file to upload to Server.
Workflow Versions
A workflow package (YXZP) can include multiple workflows, Analytic Apps, and macros, however, these assets might not necessarily all have the same workflow version.
When you upload a YXZP package (via REST API or Server Admin UI), only the default workflow within the package is used to determine the version check.
On the Workflows page, select + New.
Select the workflow on your computer or a shared location, then select Upload.
The workflow displays in your list on the Workflows page. Apps and macros can also be uploaded using these steps.
