View pipeline runs

When you run a pipeline, the flow editor shows progress directly on the canvas: nodes the run has reached pick up a status, and a run-state indicator lets you open a step-by-step view of what happened.

  1. Start a run

    Run the pipeline (from its Configuration tab, or by using it in a conversation).

  2. Watch node status

    As execution proceeds, nodes on the canvas update to show whether they’re pending, running, done, or failed.

  3. Open the run timeline

    Click the run-state indicator to open a dialog with a stepper across every step the run has taken so far. Select a step to see the pipeline’s state before and after it ran.

  4. Stop or delete a run

    From the same dialog, you can stop a run in progress.

Pipeline run state dialog with step-by-step timeline

The clock icon next to the run-state indicator opens History: every past conversation that used this pipeline, newest first, with its date, a derived duration, and its message count. Select a run to see its recorded trace — the tool calls and thinking steps the runtime logged for that conversation. A pipeline with no past conversations shows an empty state rather than a blank panel.

Each step in the timeline shows the pipeline’s state as it was immediately before and immediately after that node ran. This is the most direct way to see what a Decision or Router node actually branched on, or what an LLM node’s raw output was before a later node reshaped it — useful for working out why a pipeline took the path it did, or why it stopped where it did.

A step that fails is marked with its own error status in the timeline, alongside the state at that point — checking the state there is usually the fastest way to tell whether the problem was bad input, a missing credential, or a node reading a state key that was never set.
