# Add workflow elements

Once you have the start and end events and the optional pool and lanes configured, you can add other elements from the **Shape repository** to the canvas and connect them to create your workflow.

You add elements by dragging them from the [**Shape repository**](/workflows/designing-workflows/processes/shape-repository.md) to the canvas. You connect elements with sequence flows.

## What's next

When your workflow is ready, you can [publish it](/workflows/managing-workflows-in-collibra/publish-a-workflow.md) to Collibra and [configure it](/workflows/managing-workflows-in-collibra/view-and-edit-workflows.md) by editing the workflow definition settings.
