Work with Workflows

The chapter includes the following topics:

Disable all workflows
You must disable the published workflows if you are updating the plugins that are used in various active workflows. The system does not allow updating plugins unless the workflows are disabled.
When you disable the workflows, users with Admin and Workflow Administrator roles receive an email notification.
After updating the plugins, enable the workflows again.
