In SimpleOne, the Workflow Editor provides the interface for configuring a workflow: adding and setting activities, arranging them in a particular order, and connecting them with each other by transitions.
To open the Workflow Editor, navigate to Workflows → Workflow Editor.
The editor opens with the default page displaying recently changed workflows. Here, you can open existing workflows by clicking Open, and create the new ones by clicking New.
The Workflow Editor consists of the following working areas:
Control Panel
This panel is intended for managing and editing new and existing workflows.
In the hamburger menu 
, you can find the following options:
- New workflow – create a new workflow.
- Delete – remove the current workflow.
- Check out – enable editing a published workflow (displayed if the workflow state is Published).
- Publish – activate the workflow to manage processes (displayed if the workflow state is Checked Out).
- Properties – edit the workflow properties.
Please note that when deleting a workflow, the records related to this workflow are also deleted:
- Active workflow versions (these records are located in the Workflow Versions (wf_workflow_version) dictionary).
- Records related to the deleted workflow versions (activities, exits, transitions).
The Activities tab displays the list of available activities implemented in the system.
The Workflows tab displays the list of the existing workflows.
