Publish a Workflow

When a Workflow is being built it is set to draft mode by default. This enables the designer to make changes. When a Workflow is complete the designer sets the Workflow to Publish mode. This prevents any changes being made to the Workflow and also can be now linked to a pathway developed in Pathway Developer

The status of the Workflow is displayed in the bottom left of the design screen.

When a Workflow is set from DRAFT to PUBLISH, this locks the Workflow so no changes can be made and it can be distributed for use.

To publish a Workflow.

• Select the Workflow tile and open your Workflow from the File menu.

• Click the File icon menu again and select Publish.

• Click Yes

The status now changes to PUBLISHED and the Workflow cannot be edited.

The Workflow web link can now be shared to users. Sharing a Workflow.

Note: to make simple changes to a Published Workflow, select Unpublish from the menu, make the changes and set back to Publish. The New Version on the menu allows you to create a new version of your Workflow whilst users can still use the old version.
