When you are editing a workflow, there are a number of additional steps you can take to ensure that it is a Best Practice workflow and will be more reusable.

  1. Open a workflow for editing
  2. In the workflow menu bar, you’ll find the Workflow Options dropdown menu.

  3. Click on it and select “Best Practices” from the dropdown menu.

  4. This will take you to a new side panel, which allows you to investigate and correct any issues with your workflow.
