## Overview

A workflow in Floyo is a visual way of programming the system what to do. That might mean generating an image, running an AI model, or handling a completely custom function. Each workflow is made up of nodes connected together.

## What Are Workflows?

Every node has one or multiple functions. It can load a model, apply a prompt, adjust a value, or process an input. You connect them to define the steps in your workflow. Think of it like building with blocks, where each block has a clear purpose.

| Workflow Type   | Description                                          |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Simple**      | A few nodes for basic generation tasks               |
| **Complex**     | Many nodes layering different models or mixing media |
| **Multi-modal** | Combines image, video, audio, or 3D in one pipeline  |

That flexibility is the point. Under the hood, Floyo can run anything.

## What You Can Do with Workflows

| Capability                   | Description                                              |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Build from scratch**       | Start with a blank canvas and add nodes                  |
| **Start from existing**      | Use community workflows or templates as a starting point |
| **Run instantly**            | Execute workflows in your browser with no local setup    |
| **Share or keep private**    | Publish to the community or keep workflows to yourself   |
| **Work solo or with a team** | Use personally or collaborate with team members          |

Whether you're experimenting, prototyping, or doing production work, it all happens through workflows.

## Workflow Examples

Workflows can produce many types of outputs:

| Use Case                | Example                                                          |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Text to Image**       | Generate images from text prompts using models like FLUX or SDXL |
| **Image to Image**      | Transform existing images with style transfer or enhancement     |
| **Image to Video**      | Animate still images into video content                          |
| **Multi-frame Control** | Apply consistent styling across video frames                     |
| **LoRA Training**       | Train custom LoRA models directly in workflows                   |

## Saving Workflows

In Floyo, saving your workflow is simple. You have multiple options depending on how you want to store and share your work.

| Save Method           | Description                                   |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Save to workspace** | Store in your Floyo file storage              |
| **Download as JSON**  | Export as a .json file to your computer       |
| **Publish and share** | Publish to Floyo and share a link with others |
| **Publish to team**   | Share privately with your team members        |

### Workflow Metadata in Images

One of the most useful features is that every image you generate has the full workflow embedded in the metadata. That means you, or anyone else, can drag that image back into Floyo and instantly reopen the exact workflow that created it.

No need to remember what settings you used or how it was built.

**💡 Tip:** Share your output images with others. They can drag the image into Floyo to see exactly how you made it.

## Tips & Best Practices

- **Start simple:** Begin with basic workflows before adding complexity
- **Use existing workflows:** Browse the Discover page for inspiration and starting points
- **Save often:** Save your work regularly, especially before making major changes
- **Organize by purpose:** Name workflows descriptively so you can find them later
- **Test incrementally:** Run your workflow after adding each new section to catch issues early
