Summary: A focused walkthrough comparing n8n v1 and the v2.0 beta. The host highlights visual refinements, backend improvements for scalability, and a key behavioral change to subworkflows that impacts human-in-the-loop and approval flows.
– UI refinements: cleaner node visuals, new processing animations, hover connector effects, and an expandable sidebar for streamlined editing.
– Behavioral change: subworkflows must be published and can now wait and return data to the calling workflow (enables true send-and-wait approvals).
– Productivity & ops: faster save, focus panel for editing node parameters, migration report tool, and emphasis on security, reliability, and performance.
Quotes:
It doesn’t really look that different. And that is a really good thing.
Subworkflows can now wait and return data to the main workflow — huge for human-in-the-loop flows.
