Create a workflow IN deactivate mode
![LAW](https://us.v-cdn.net/6031209/uploads/defaultavatar/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg)
I know I can make a workflow THEN deactivate. But the workflow needs to be valid before it allows me to save.
I want to create a workflow IN deactivated mode.
[I was hoping I could make a workflow that even if it had flaw it would save. Right now, I cannot even save it. So, when I have a good idea I want to try out, but it doesn't work I can't save it and try later.]

Thank you. I see that "creating in deactivate mode" is not possible but your workarounds sound viable. Appreciate your response.

When you build out a workflow it needs to be live, build out the workflow (it will not trigger), then deactivate. This will allow you to save your workflow and be deactivated.

You can also copy the sheet in a different location save your workflow and test it. If it all works well you can mimic the same workflow format into the original sheet.
