Favorite items

Available from n8n 2.18.0

You can favorite workflows, folders, projects, and data tables to pin them for quick access. Favoriting an item adds it to a Favorites section in the left menu, so you don't have to search or browse for the items you use most.

Favorites are personal to each user. Favoriting an item doesn't change who can view or edit it, and doesn't affect other users' favorites.

Favorite an item

To favorite an item, select its three-dot menu, then select Favorite. To remove it from your favorites, select the same three-dot menu, then select Unfavorite.

Find the three-dot menu for each item type here:

• Workflows: Next to a workflow on the Workflows list, or in the top header while the workflow is open.

• Folders: Next to a folder on the Workflows list.

• Data tables: Next to a data table on the Data tables list.

• Projects: Next to a project on the Workflows list. Team projects also have a star icon in the project header, which you can select instead.

Star icon only appears for team projects

The star icon in the project header only appears when you open a team project. To favorite your personal project, use its three-dot menu instead.

View your favorites

n8n lists your favorites in a Favorites section in the left menu, grouped by item type: projects, folders, workflows, then data tables. Select an item to open it, or select x next to an item to remove it from your favorites without opening it.

Limited discoverability

The Favorites section only appears in the left menu after you favorite at least one item. There's no dedicated favorites page, and currently no way to search, sort, or filter within the list.

Limits

You can favorite up to 200 items in total. If you reach this limit, remove an existing favorite before you add a new one.

n8n automatically removes a favorite when someone deletes the underlying item. If you lose access to a favorited item, for example if someone removes you from its project, it stops appearing in your favorites list until you regain access.
