What's new in previous releases | ArcGIS Workflow Manager

The following is an archive of features introduced at previous versions of ArcGIS Workflow Manager. For a list of features and enhancements in the latest release, see What's New.

ArcGIS Online October 2025

REST API
- Only return user defined settings when the includeSystemSettings property is set to false in a getSettings request.
- Several improvements to asynchronous import and export have been made.
  - When exporting a workflow configuration asynchronously, the request exports a new mapping file in addition to the configuration (.wmc) file for an item. The new mapping file allows you to associate the diagrams, templates, and settings used in the source workflow item to the diagrams, templates, and settings in the destination workflow item. Use get export file to retrieve either the workflow configuration or mapping file by specifying the fileType property to be either wmc or json.
  - Asyncronous imports now support the ability to import workflow configurations without overwriting diagrams, templates, or settings in the destination workflow item. Set overwriteConfiguration to false to leave existing diagrams, templates, and settings in the destination workflow item, alongside those you import in your configuration file. Set overwriteConfiguration to true, or omit it in the request, to overwrite all data in the destination workflow item with the contents of the imported file.
  - A mapping file can be used while asynchronously importing a workflow configuration.
  - Learn more about merging workflow configurations.
  - The passphrase property is deprecated for both asynchronous and synchronous exports.
