Yesterday I had a project in my account in perfect condition. Today I log in and all I find is: “This history is empty. You can load your own data or get data from an external source”.
What can I do to recover my history?
I am having the same issue. Any solution?
Same thing happened to me this morning… all my histories are empty, but still say they contain items when I look at the list of histories. I tried “resume all paused jobs” and “unhide all hidden content” but nothing has happened.
usegalaxy.eu is currently getting prepared for the update to the latest release of Galaxy.
This causes a bit more issues than expected, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience.
This issue has been dealt with. Sorry again for the inconvenience.

Hi, since a few days I have no access to my old workflows (I see the wfs in my wf list but I can’t edit them). Is it also related to the release update? Thanks for your help!
@dfplazag interesting. We haven’t gotten any other such reports, and it’s not all of your workflows but just specific ones, correct?
I would be interested in debugging this case, but for this I would need to share your problematic WFs with a few developers. Simplest way to do so would be to make them temporarily accessible via sharable links. Is that acceptable for you?
Hi, I imported a history from #galaxy.org to galaxy.eu and although it imported without any errors, when I open it all the datasets are empty and shaded in blue saying “This dataset is remote, has not been ingested by Galaxy, and full metadata may not be available”. I checked the exported history from galaxy.org and everything is good there (in"green"). Any ideas why this could be the case?
It happens with all my wfs, actually. They never fully load in the editing window even though I can still see all the steps under “View”. I can also download all the wfs. Just no possibility of editing. I could share one via link but the problem affects them all. I also logged out and in again, still no editing.
So, can I just share the WF you’re showing?
Would it be okay if I share the wf link privately and not in this thread? Is there a way to do that?
Yes, see my direct message 
Thanks a lot Wolfgang, I just sent you the wf link to your UniFreiburg email address!!

This has to do with the size and complexity of your WF. We’ve found a relatively small (compared to your) WF, which has the same problem, and now have an issue for this: Large workflows are not rendering in workflow editor · Issue #15727 · galaxyproject/galaxy · GitHub, but fixing is not trivial.
To explain: the WF editor is a component that received a major rewrite in the new release, but nobody tested against WFs the size of yours (if you have a small WF or you create one, it should be opening in the editor just fine).
Thanks Wolfgang, any chance I could edit the wf in a legacy version of Galaxy (where the editing for this wf size used to work just fine)?

Well, not easily because you’d need a server that has all tools in your WF installed:(
What you could try, if you feel confident enough, is to edit the downloaded WF file in a text editor and shrink it to a size that’s loadable, but admittedly far from ideal.
If it’s just a small modification that you want to do, doing this via a text editor might be feasible though.
If you only want to extend your current WF (not modify existing steps), you can also create a new WF and embed your existing one as a sub-WF into it (because it’s really just the editor not being able to show all the connection between steps, and a sub-WF will show as a single box).
Finally, but much(!) harder, you could set up your own small Galaxy 22.05 instance on a local computer, install necessary tools and edit the WF locally - kind of a last resort option.
Sorry that I don’t have any better solutions right now.
