Workflows are created in the Workflow Canvas space. For clarity, a workflow only defines a series of tools that execute various functions that ultimately process data. Within the workflow, you can save relative paths to the various data sources, and you will be able to share workflows with fellow teammates by utilizing or saving in a shared drive. Each workflow is saved as a file type YXMD.
