# Edit an out-of-the-box workflow

If you prefer to have an example to start from when you start designing workflows, follow these steps to import a workflow from Collibra Platform in Workflow Designer.

For minor changes to an out-of-the-box workflow, see [View and edit workflows](/workflows/managing-workflows-in-collibra/view-and-edit-workflows.md).

## Prerequisites

You have the Sysadmin global role or a global role that has at least the Workflow Administration [global permission](https://productresources.collibra.com/docs/collibra/latest/Default.htm#cshid=DOC0630).

## Steps

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open Collibra.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
[Open](/workflows/managing-workflows-in-collibra/view-and-edit-workflows.md) a workflow.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the **Flow** tab, select and copy the XML text.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Save the text as a BPMN file.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Open the Workflow Designer.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Create a new app if required.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the app, add a new model and select **Import** → **Process**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Upload the BPMN file you created.\ <i class="fa-chevrons-right">:chevrons-right:</i> A BPMN diagram identical to the flow view in Collibra is displayed. This means that you imported the file correctly. You can now start exploring and changing its properties.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
After you have edited the workflow, publish it to Collibra.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you do not change the process model key, the modified workflow replaces the out-of-the-box workflow.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
