# Designing workflows

Collibra workflows can be simple processes or a collection of processes, sub-processes and forms. Collibra Platform uses the [Flowable](https://www.flowable.org/) workflow engine for managing its process definitions. Collibra provides a custom web application that you can use to design process definitions. For additional information, consult the [Flowable documentation](https://documentation.flowable.com/latest/user/design/introduction).

After you have created a process definition, you have a ZIP file that is ready to be published in Collibra. When you upload a process definition, Collibra creates a corresponding workflow definition that is handled as an asset. After that, you can configure the integration of the uploaded process with Collibra.
