Editorial Workflows

Working Copy

public workflow

Install Workflow

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: Workflow for transferring files from Working Copy to Editorial and back again.

When called with input, it will pick the filename from the first line and write the other lines into this file, which lets Working Copy create a new file with predefined content. The filename contains a unique identifier for remembering where it belongs. To avoid overwriting files in Editorial by mistake, the previous contents of files are put in WorkingCopy.bak

When this workflow is called without any input the contents of the current file is written back to Working Copy.

Change askcommit variable to 0 if you just want to save and not be asked to commit.

To install a new version of this workflow delete or rename this one and perform Edit in Editorial from Working Copy.
