In SimpleOne, the Workflow Editor provides an interface for configuring a workflow: adding and setting up activities, arranging them in a specific order, and connecting them to each other using transitions.
To open the Workflow Editor, navigate to Workflows → Workflow Editor.
The editor opens with a 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 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 of the published workflow (displayed if the workflow is in the Published state).
- Publish – activate the workflow to manage processes (displayed if the workflow is in the Checked out state).
- Properties – edit the workflow properties.
When a workflow is deleted, the records related to this workflow are also deleted:
- The active workflow versions that are located in the Workflow Versions (wf_workflow_version) table.
- The Records related to the deleted workflow versions (activities, exits, transitions).
The Activities tab displays a list of the available activities.
The Workflows tab displays a list of the existing workflows.
To open a workflow, click it. The workflow is displayed on the canvas. To enable editing, select Check out in the hamburger menu.
