Manage Alteryx Links
You can now link Designer and the Alteryx Platform. This lets you save your Designer workflows to the Platform as well as open workflows from the Platform in Designer.
Important
Please note that not all Designer Desktop tools are currently compatible with Designer Cloud. While you can save workflows to Platform that contain tools that are not compatible with Designer Cloud, you will receive a warning message if you open these workflows in Designer Cloud. For a list of the current Designer Cloud tools, go to Designer Cloud Tool List.
