To use these workflows in Galaxy you can either click the links to download the workflows, or you can right-click and copy the link to the workflow which can be used in the Galaxy form to import workflows.

Importing into Galaxy

Hands On: Importing a workflow

1. Click on galaxy-workflows-activity Workflows in the Galaxy activity bar (on the left side of the screen, or in the top menu bar of older Galaxy instances). You will see a list of all your workflows
2. Click on galaxy-upload Import at the top-right of the screen
3. Provide your workflow
   • Option 1: Paste the URL of the workflow into the box labelled “Archived Workflow URL”
   • Option 2: Upload the workflow file in the box labelled “Archived Workflow File”
4. Click the Import workflow button

Below is a short video demonstrating how to import a workflow from GitHub using this procedure:
