Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Comfy-Org/desktop/issues/1482

App Version

0.6.0

Expected Behavior

Each tab maintains its own independent workflow. Switching between tabs should display the workflow that was originally opened in that tab.

Actual Behavior

Tab A displays workflow B's content after opening B in a new tab.

The app shows that A was "auto-saved", but the file is not actually overwritten at this point. Pressing Ctrl+Z can restore A's original content.

However, if any edit is made in tab A (while it displays B's content), auto-save triggers and overwrites A's file with B's content, causing data loss.

Steps to Reproduce

Open workflow A in a tab
Open workflow B in a new tab
Switch back to the tab for A
Observe tab A's content

Hi @ClearPlume! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the desktop team.

This bug isn't tracked or fixed in the desktop app, and it's not mentioned in the official documentation or changelogs. The desktop app itself doesn't manage tab or workflow state—those are handled entirely by the ComfyUI frontend (web UI), not the Electron shell. There are related discussions about workflow saving/loading and tab/session persistence, but nothing directly matches this issue or documents a workaround or fix for it [source 1] [source 2] [source 3].

To avoid data loss until this is addressed upstream, consider disabling auto-save, saving workflows under unique names, or working with fewer tabs. You may want to keep an eye on the ComfyUI frontend repository for updates related to tab/workflow isolation.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

Docs are dead. Just use Dosu.

Hi, @ClearPlume. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the desktop team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

You reported that opening a second workflow in a new tab causes the first tab to show the second workflow's content, risking data loss on auto-save.
This behavior is due to tab and workflow state being managed by the ComfyUI frontend, not the desktop app itself.
Workarounds suggested include disabling auto-save or saving workflows with unique names.
Another user was unable to reproduce the issue, and no fix has been implemented yet.

Next Steps:

Please let me know if this issue still occurs with the latest version of the desktop app by commenting here to keep the discussion open.
Otherwise, this issue will be automatically closed in 7 days.

Thanks for your understanding and contribution!
