Community Edition Features
The community edition includes almost the complete feature set of n8n, except for the features listed here.
The community edition doesn't include these features:
- Custom Variables
- Environments
- External secrets
- External storage for binary data
- Log streaming (Logging is included)
- Multi-main mode (Queue mode is included)
- Projects
- SSO (SAML, LDAP)
- Sharing (workflows, credentials) (Only the instance owner and the user who creates them can access workflows and credentials)
- Version control using Git
- Workflow history (You can get one day of workflow history with the community edition by registering)
These features are available on the Enterprise Cloud plan, including the self-hosted Enterprise edition. Some of these features are available on the Starter and Pro Cloud plan.

Registering unlocks these features for the community edition:

- One day of workflow history: 24 hours of workflow history so you can revert back to previous workflow versions
- Custom execution data: Save, find, and annotate execution metadata
To register a new community edition instance, select the option during your initial account creation.
To register an existing community edition instance:
- Select the three dots icon
{.off-glb} in the lower-left corner. - Select Settings and then Usage and plan.
- Select Unlock to enter your email and then select Send me a free license key.
- Check your email for the account you entered.
Once you have a license key, activate it by clicking the button in the license email or by visiting Options > Settings > Usage and plan and selecting Enter activation key.
Once activated, your license will not expire. We may change the unlocked features in the future. This will not impact previously unlocked features.
