Upload and Download Workflows
In YouTrack, you can upload a workflow that was written in an external JavaScript editor or downloaded from our custom workflow repository in GitHub or from the JetBrains Marketplace.
You can also download workflows from YouTrack. Use this option when you have a workflow that you would like to upload into another YouTrack instance. You can also download workflows and share them with the YouTrack support team for troubleshooting.
Workflows are uploaded and downloaded as ZIP files. Each ZIP file contains a single workflow.
As an administrator, you can perform these actions directly on the Workflows administration page. Project administrators can also upload and attach workflows to the projects that they have permission to view and update. These settings are accessible from the Workflow tab of the Edit Project page. For more information, see Upload a Workflow and Attach it to a Project.
