## Overview

There are three ways to run workflows on Floyo: import your own JSON file, run from the community, or access private team workflows.

## Method 1: Drag and Drop a Workflow

Bring your own workflow JSON file to run on Floyo.

### Steps

1. Click **Launch App** to open the canvas
2. Drag and drop your workflow file onto the ComfyUI canvas
3. The workflow replaces whatever was previously loaded

**💡 Tip:** If your workflow contains custom nodes not currently installed on Floyo, the team will be notified. Most nodes are installed within 72 hours.

## Method 2: Run from the Floyo Community

Run workflows published by other creators.

### Steps

1. Browse the **Discover** page or search for a workflow
2. Click on a workflow card to open its details page
3. Click the yellow **Open workflow** button
4. Customize inputs as needed
5. Click the **Play button** to generate

### Verified vs Unverified

| Type           | Description                                                                                            |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Verified ✅** | Tested and verified to run on Floyo. All custom nodes, models, and functions are installed and working |
| **Unverified** | Still in progress of being verified. May experience issues                                             |

## Method 3: Run from Your Private Teams Page

Access workflows shared within your team.

### Steps

1. Click on your **teams account** in the team selector
2. Browse workflows on your team's Private Homepage
3. Click any workflow that's not marked **Draft**
4. The workflow opens with its documentation and runs as designed by your team's workflow creator

***

## After Running Successfully

Once your workflow runs successfully, you can publish it:

1. The **PUBLISH TO TEAM** button lights up in the upper right
2. Click the dropdown to choose:
   - **Publish to Community** — Share publicly
   - **Publish to Team** — Share privately with your team

See [Public vs Private Publishing](https://docs.floyo.ai/public-vs-private-publishing) for more details.

## Workflow Execution

### The Play Button

Click the **Play button (▶)** in the bottom toolbar to start execution.

### Status Indicators

| Status              | Meaning                      |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| **Ready**           | Workflow is ready to run     |
| **In queue**        | Workflow run is queued       |
| **Validating**      | Validating the workflow JSON |
| **Running (steps)** | Currently executing          |

### Queue

If you run multiple workflows, they're added to the queue. The queue counter shows how many items are waiting.

## Tips & Best Practices

- **Check inputs first:** Review all input nodes before running
- **Start with verified workflows:** More reliable results
- **Watch the status:** Monitor progress in the bottom toolbar
- **Check Run History:** View past runs and their outputs in the left sidebar

***

## Troubleshooting

### Workflow shows "missing node" error?

**Solution:** The workflow uses a custom node not yet installed. Wait 24-72 hours for automatic installation, or [request it directly](https://docs.floyo.ai/requesting-custom-nodes).

### Workflow runs but produces unexpected results?

**Solution:** Check your inputs — prompts, images, and settings. Compare with the workflow's example outputs.

### "Insufficient FloTime" error?

**Solution:** You've run out of GPU time. Purchase additional FloTime.
