Selective Workflow Runs

Run a workflow against selected Library items instead of the entire integration.
Updated 5 June 2026·Task guide

Outcome

A workflow operates only on the selected items from a Library table, giving you workflow safeguards without pushing or importing the whole integration.

Risk level

Medium. Selected scope reduces risk; verify the selection and related data before execution.

Before you start

  • The workflow supports the selected integration.
  • You have selected the intended items in the Library.
  • You know whether related data should be included.
  • The workflow has been dry-run at least once with a safe scope.

Steps

  1. Open the Library section
    Choose Templates, Components, Pages, Media, Global Styles, Fields, or another supported integration.
  2. Select the items
    Use checkboxes to choose exactly what the workflow should operate on.
  3. Choose workflow scope
    When prompted, choose selected items rather than all items.
  4. Run dry run
    Confirm the selected payload and related-data behavior.
  5. Execute and verify
    Run the workflow, then check Activity and the target site.

Code basis

WPChangeSync 2.0 added scope choice dialogs for Push Selected and selective workflow runs, including fixes so clearing the last checkbox clears the workflow selection.

$pathstringRequired

Absolute path of the directory to write the snapshot to.

$modestringOptionaldefault: two-way

Sync direction — push, pull or two-way.

$gitboolOptionaldefault: false

When true, commits the snapshot to the repository after writing.

Use this for small releases
Selective workflow runs are ideal for one component, one page group, or a small approved template set where a full integration push would be too broad.
