Local workspace disappeared and cant save workflow

My local workspace has disappeared and i cant save as my current workflow for an assignment due tommorrow i need help

@yudi can you tell us more. Is your knime workspace on a OneDrive or something similar?

Have you searched for the name of the workflow on the drive?

@yudi You might try exporting your workflow to another folder. This should create a .knwf file in the new location.

i cant export it , when i try to save as the local folder is in red and i cant save it there for some reason

Have you tried searching for the workspace folder as @mlauber71 suggested? If it has literally disappeared you might try manually recreating it.

@yudi could you explain what you mean by the local folder is in red? Is this within knime or is it on your hard drive /in the explorer. And do you use a remote folder like onedrive?

I’m running out of ideas. You might try this.

  1. Create new local workspace. Do not use a cloud drive.
  2. Ceate a blank workflow.
  3. Manually copy your existing workflow and paste it in the blank workflow you created.
  4. Switch to the new workspace.
  5. Save the new workflow in the new workspace.

it is within knime when i try to Save As the workflow

@yudi ok. What you can try. Make a fresh knime version in a different folder with a new knime workspace where you are sure writing is possible. Then try to copy your workflow there and save it.

It would also help if you could try and answer the questions about search and OneDrive to give us a better picture.

are there any videos i can watch that can guide me through this step by step

@yudi I don’t think so. Knime can just live in any folder that is writable. You can have several versions in parallel as long as the KNIME workspaces are separated.

You will have to determine why your knime workspace ist possibly corrupted.
