You can open a data flow or library node from the Directory by selecting the document and choosing Open from the panel on the right side of the screen.
The application will then switch from the Directory to either the Data Flow Designer or the Library Node Designer.
If you open a document which has unsaved changes, you will be asked if you wish to carry on working on a backup copy (which contains your very latest, unsaved changes), or whether you wish to continue working on your last saved version, discarding any unsaved changes.
A document will have unsaved changes if you close the browser, or the browser tab, without saving your document first.
Opening a shared document
If you open a document from the Public Documents folder, there is a chance that somebody else will already be editing it. We do not support concurrent editing of the same document, so in this case, you will be prompted to either Return to Directory or Open as Read-Only.
The Open Document as Read-Only? dialog will tell you who is editing the document, so you can reach out to them and ask them to let you know when they are finished editing the document. Once they have saved their changes, you will then be able to re-open the document and edit it yourself.
Opening a scheduled data flow
When you open a data flow that is scheduled to be run in the future, the data flow opens in read only mode. From here, you can view the data flow and you will have the option to open the data flow in edit mode.
