Dear Galaxy team,<br><br>I have been making use of the workflow feature in Galaxy and I think it is an excellent way to make use of the tools and share analyses with others.  Recently I have noticed that some of 
steps within the workflow have been disconnected due to tool changes.<br><br>&quot;Problems were 
encountered loading this workflow (possibly a result of 
tool upgrades). Please review the following parameters and then save.&quot;<br><br><br>A week ago I
reconnected the workflow steps yesterday found that some step were disconnected. I corrected this yesterday and was able to save and test it. Today
 however I have returned to the workflow and the again several of the 
connections between functions  have been lost.  I was planning on using 
and publishing a link to this workflow (i.e. for a manuscript). Is 
this a good idea or is it still a beta function which will not be 
stable? I have a bit of a complex workflow and I am not sure if it is a 
good idea to continue to repair it? Any feedback on how one should work with the workflows 
would be great.<br>
<br>Perhaps one nice feature would be a way to freeze/lock-down a 
workflow so it will run inspite of future Galaxy updgrades  (in addition 
to having a more plastic one that evolves along with the upgrades). Also a
 way to export the workflow in a meaningful way would be useful as it 
can be difficult to remember all the step once the links are broken.<br>
<br>Thanks again for your help. <br><br>Best regards,<br>Mike<br><br><br>
