Workflows are a preview feature. The behaviour described here may change.
What the canvas shows
The Latest and Published toggle switches between what you are editing and what is actually running.
When to use one
A workflow suits a job that is genuinely continuous — a catalogue that changes daily, a content source that receives new records without warning.
For a job that runs occasionally, or for anything still being tuned, manual review sessions give you more control over exactly what runs and when.
Connect a workflow only once the configuration is performing well in review sessions. Automation multiplies whatever the configuration currently does, including its mistakes.
Chained stages
A workflow can also connect one task’s stage output to the next task, which is how a multi-stage pipeline runs continuously — extract attributes in stage one, write copy from them in stage two.
Remember that a chained stage carries no images: any configuration that needs to see pictures must sit first in the chain, directly on the index. Content sources
