Introduction

The workflow design tool empowers designers with an overview of all workflows within the current tenant, enabling quick status checks and edits, while also serving as a comprehensive platform for managing workflows and associated features.

...

To access Workflow Design, click on the pen icon on the left menu and select Workflow Design. This component replaces the deprecated Workflow Repository.

...

You have now entered the new Workflow Design. If you have no workflows on your tenant, you are either able to can create a new workflow by pressing the New workflow button on the right top or by pressing the Browse files button on the bottom which has the same functionality.

...

Clicking on Browse files or New workflow opens an OS file selection window, enabling the import of workflows as zip files, each containing at least one BPMN file and one SVG file.

When importing identical workflows, only the workflow version will be updated. This means that any imported workflows with identical content will not result in changes to the workflow itself, but will instead increment the version number.
