Workflows
Each workflow is a saveable, versioned graph that models a business process. Workflows live in a gallery (grid, list, or mind-map) and can be active, inactive, or draft.
Nodes & Edges
Nodes do work — call a system action, run an agent, ask a person, set a variable, log a message. Edges connect nodes; conditional edges branch on data.
Pins
Pins capture a node's input or output as a deterministic stand-in. Use them to test downstream branches without re-calling expensive systems, or to reproduce a specific scenario.
AI Workflow Assistant
Describe what you want in plain English; the assistant streams back a draft workflow you can preview, refine, and apply to the canvas in one click.
Test & Run
Test panel runs to a chosen node; isolated node test runs one node with sample inputs. Workflow Runner executes end-to-end with live overlay, pauses for human steps, and resumes on form submit.
JSON Editor
Every visual change has a corresponding text representation. The JSON Editor panel lets you read or edit the underlying graph and sync it back to the canvas.

Access to Orchestration Studio is gated by the
visual-designer:workflow resource. The five actions view, create, edit, delete, and execute can be granted independently — for example, an operator may have view + execute on production workflows but only edit in a staging environment. The Execute button on each workflow card and the Save button on the canvas only appear when your role allows.
Creating Your First Workflow START HERE
Brand-new to Orchestration Studio? This is the fastest path from zero to a saved, runnable workflow — open the studio, click Create, drag a node, connect, configure, save, and run a test in about five minutes.
Workflow Gallery
Open the studio, switch between grid / list / mind-map, search and filter workflows, sort, create a new workflow, execute from a card, and use the kebab menu (duplicate, clone, download YAML, delete).
Designing Workflows
The full canvas tour: anatomy of the editor, drag nodes from the library, configure node parameters, draw edges and conditions, manage data, switch panels with keyboard shortcuts, use the JSON editor, fix Problems, and save.
Testing & Running Workflows
Test to a target node, isolated node test, pin outputs (record mode + manual), open the Workflow Runner, watch the execution overlay, complete a paused human step, resume, and read Console / Problems / Timeline.
AI Workflow Assistant
Describe a workflow in plain English from the left "AI Workflow Assistant" strip or the right AI panel; review the streaming reply; apply suggestions to the canvas; iterate; mix AI-drafted nodes with manual edits.
