# View and edit workflows

You can view both the XML schema and a visual representation of the workflow definition in Collibra Platform.

You must have the Sysadmin global role or a global role that has at least the Workflow Administration global permission to access this page:

{% stepper %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Workflows**.\ <i class="fa-chevrons-right">:chevrons-right:</i> The Workflows settings page appears on the **Definitions** tab page.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select a workflow.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the tab pane, click **Flow**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

![](/files/lwvifgbeG1mMCTSPKuqL)

The lower part of the page contains the raw workflow definition:

![](/files/hMjcmz3e2QgMvpMK3hEo)

To export the workflow definition as BPMN and edit it, follow the procedures described in the [Edit an out-of-the-box workflow](/workflows/edit-an-out-of-the-box-workflow.md) section of the Workflows documentation.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If the workflow was created using the Workflow Designer, edit the workflow in the Workflow Designer and [publish](/workflows/managing-workflows-in-collibra/publish-a-workflow.md) the new version to your environment.
{% endhint %}

For minor updates, you can edit the XML schema directly:

1. Click **Edit** to edit the XML.
2. Click **Save** in the lower-right part of the page to save your changes and exit edit mode.

{% hint style="info" %}
The changes you make are not reflected in [currently running instances](/workflows/managing-workflows-in-collibra/view-running-workflow-instances.md) of the workflow.
{% endhint %}
