Features​

Restore Variables from backup file​

You can now restore Variables from a backup file.

As you may know, pressing the “Full Backup” button in the RobFlow menu will download a backup folder which contains all Flows, Subflows, Dashboards, Plugins and Variables present on the Control Unit at that moment.

If you accidentally deleted Variables after this backup, you can easily restore them now. Just press the “Restore Variables from backup” button in the Variable menu, select the variable_storage.json file from your backup and restore.

Scale and shift Flow environment file for Robot Visualizer​

In addition to our last release 5.1, you can now upload and save environment files for each Flow. This gives you the opportunity to adjust the Robot Visualizer to different settings.

Also, you can adjust the scale and shift of the environment in case it does not exactly match reality.

Customizable import conflict handling for Flows/Subflows/Dashboards​

If you downloaded a Flow, Subflow or Dashboard and try to re-import it to the same Control Unit, RobFlow will ask if you want to overwrite the existing one or if you want to keep both - the original and the imported version.

That way it is easier for you to keep track of changes.
