Editing a Workflow

The features below are available in the workflow designer, which is accessed by clicking Workflows and opening a workflow from the list.

Undoing and Redoing Actions

UI options: To undo and redo your changes to a workflow, click the back arrow and forward arrow, respectively.

Keyboard shortcuts: To undo your changes, press Ctrl+Z (on Windows) and Cmd+Z (on Mac). To redo your changes, press Control+R (Mac). There is no equivalent keyboard shortcut for redoing an action on Windows.
Note: These keyboard shortcuts may conflict with your system’s existing keyboard shortcut mappings.

Selecting, Moving, and Deleting Multiple Work Steps

Selecting

To select multiple work steps in order to move or delete them as a group, press Ctrl, Shift, or Cmd, then click the steps one at a time. You can add additional steps to a group of steps you have already selected by holding down Ctrl, Shift, or Cmd and clicking the additional steps one at a time.

Alternatively, you can click the canvas (the background grid pattern in the window) next to a work step that you want to select, then click the left mouse button and drag the mouse to highlight an area that selects that work step and additional work steps (note: this procedure only selects steps that are next to or immediately above or below each other).

Note: The blue highlighting disappears after the steps are selected, but this does not affect their "selected" status.

To remove an individual work step from a group of selected steps, press Ctrl, Shift, or Cmd and click that step.

To select all work steps in the designer, press Ctrl+A (Windows) or Cmd+A (Mac).

Moving

After selecting multiple work steps, you can move them as a group by releasing the selection key (Ctrl, Shift, or Cmd), clicking one of the selected steps, and dragging to a new location—which moves all the selected steps together.

Deleting

After selecting multiple work steps, you can delete them as a group. Right-click one of the selected work steps, then click Batch Delete.

Highlighting Workflow Errors

When a work step is improperly configured—for example, it does not have any connections, or it is missing a required input—it is highlighted with a red border that indicates an error when the user tries to save or publish the workflow. Hovering over the work step opens a tooltip that lists the errors which need to be fixed.

Searching for Plugins

To locate a plugin, enter the full or partial name of the plugin and click Search; search is not case-sensitive). The Search Results tab, which is inline with the tabs for plugin categories, will display the icon and plugin name for all plugins found in search.
Note: If a partial name is provided in the search box, all the plugins matching the string will be visible under the Search Results tab. If the full name is provided, for example, Adi Transformation, it will open the category tab where the plugin is found. In the example given, this would be the File Transformations tab.
