Changed elsewhere, not saved

Automation editing, validation, and conflicting saves. Exact Runner messages, recovery steps, and checks for the completed result.

Correct the named field, node, connection, JSON, schedule, or file before retrying. Connections must use compatible inputs/outputs and cannot create cycles. Use a valid automation export for import.

For a save conflict, preserve any local edits you need before choosing Reload server version: that action replaces the local automation and unsaved node changes. Reopen a node when its underlying automation changed. If the draft changes during deployment review, close the review and open Deploy again. A restored draft that requests a reload is already restored; reload the canvas rather than restoring again.

A comparison/history load failure does not change the deployed automation. Refresh a rollback conflict to see what another person deployed. Confirm the saved draft, restored canvas, or active version matches your intent before deploying or enabling a trigger. If uncertainty remains, provide the automation and version identifiers to support.

Your staged connection now conflicts with the agent's changes. Adjust or remove the connection, then try again.
