# Out-of-the-box workflow publishing

In general, when you start your Collibra Platform environment, all missing out-of-the-box (OOTB) workflows are published, enabled and configured with the default settings.

{% hint style="info" %}
OOTB workflows are not automatically updated after an upgrade.
{% endhint %}

The following list of rules applies to OOTB workflow publishing in version 5.1 or newer when you (re)start an environment:

* OOTB workflows that are missing (deleted or never published), are published, enabled and configured with the default settings.
* Published OOTB workflows are not automatically updated, even if they are not customized. To install a new version of an OOTB workflow, do either of the following:
  * Remove the existing workflow and then restart the environment.
  * Download the updated workflows from the [Community Downloads page](https://productresources.collibra.com/downloads/):
* If you created a workflow with the name of an OOTB workflow and the actual OOTB workflow is not published, the actual OOTB workflow is published, enabled and configured with a name having an **OOTB\_** prefix, for example OOTB\_Approval Process.

{% hint style="success" %}
[Disable](/workflows/managing-workflows-in-collibra/enable-or-disable-workflows.md) the OTTB workflows you do not want to use. If you delete them, they are republished when you restart the environment.
