**Original Comments:**

@LukeG89:

What do you mean?

The workflow is embedded inside the images, so you can just open or drag-and-drop an image on ComfyUI and the workflow will appear

You can use the SD Prompt saver node or any other image/prompt save nodes to generate either embedded or extra workflows as separate files

When I close the server, I lose all my finished queue progress. I need a way to separately save workflows and images from the finished queue. I want the ability to export them all with a single button and import them back after restarting the server.

The goal is to retain the information on how I generated each video/image and have the ability to reproduce it. However, this is currently impossible after restarting the ComfyUI server. At the output, I end up with a collection of images and workflow directories, but the connection between a specific workflow and its corresponding image in the finished queue is lost after the server stops.

We have a queue with a finished status, which is great, but it's almost impossible to use continuously. For example, if I want to go to bed and continue tomorrow, I have to leave my PC turned on to preserve it. Additionally, if the server crashes, I will lose all my work.
