# Workflow settings
|
|
|
|
You can customize workflow behavior for individual workflows using workflow settings.
|
|
|
|
## Access workflow settings
|
|
|
|
To open the settings:
|
|
|
|
1. Open your workflow.
|
|
1. Select the **three dots icon** <span class="n8n-inline-image">{.off-glb}</span> in the upper-right corner.
|
|
3. Select **Settings**. n8n opens the **Workflow settings** modal.
|
|
|
|
## Available settings
|
|
|
|
The following settings are available:
|
|
|
|
### Execution order
|
|
|
|
Choose the execution order for multi-branch workflows:
|
|
|
|
**v1 (recommended)** executes each branch in turn, completing one branch before starting another. n8n orders the branches based on their position on the [canvas](/glossary.md#canvas-n8n), from topmost to bottommost. If two branches are at the same height, the leftmost branch executes first.
|
|
|
|
**v0 (legacy)** executes the first node of each branch, then the second node of each branch, and so on.
|
|
|
|
### Error Workflow (to notify when this one errors)
|
|
|
|
Select a workflow to trigger if the current workflow fails. See [error workflows](/flow-logic/error-handling.md) for more details.
|
|
|
|
<!-- vale from-write-good.Passive = NO -->
|
|
### This workflow can be called by
|
|
<!-- vale from-write-good.Passive = YES -->
|
|
|
|
Choose which other workflows can call this workflow.
|
|
|
|
### Timezone
|
|
|
|
Sets the timezone for this workflow. The timezone setting is important for the Schedule Trigger node.
|
|
|
|
You can set your n8n instance's timezone to configure the default timezone workflows use:
|
|
|
|
* [Set a n8n Cloud instance timezone](/manage-cloud/set-cloud-timezone.md)
|
|
* [Configure the timezone for self-hosted instances](/hosting/configuration/environment-variables/timezone-localization.md)
|
|
|
|
If you don't configure the workflow or instance timezone, n8n defaults to the EDT (New York) timezone.
|
|
|
|
### Save failed production executions
|
|
|
|
Whether n8n should save failed executions for active workflows.
|
|
|
|
### Save successful production executions
|
|
|
|
Whether n8n should save successful executions for active workflows.
|
|
|
|
### Save manual executions
|
|
|
|
Whether n8n should save executions for workflows started by the user in the editor.
|
|
|
|
### Save execution progress
|
|
|
|
Whether n8n should save execution data for each node.
|
|
|
|
If set to **Save**, the workflow resumes from where it stopped in case of an error. This may increase latency.
|
|
|
|
### Timeout Workflow
|
|
|
|
Whether n8n should cancel the current workflow execution after a certain amount of time elapses.
|
|
|
|
When enabled, the **Timeout After** option appears. Here, you can set the time (in hours, minutes, and seconds) after which the workflow should timeout. For n8n Cloud users, n8n enforces a maximum available timeout for each plan.
|
|
|
|
### Estimated time saved
|
|
|
|
An estimate of the number of minutes each of execution of this workflow saves you.
|
|
|
|
Setting this lets n8n calculate the amount of time saved for [insights](/insights.md).
