A sequence is a named, reusable group of connected workflow nodes. Instead of rebuilding the same node patterns in every workflow, you can capture a pattern once, save it to the sequence library, and insert it into any workflow with a single action. #### Sequence types Sequences come in two types: | Type | What is saved | |------|--------------| | **Structure** | Nodes and their links only. Configuration is not saved, so you fill in the settings each time the sequence is inserted. | | **Configured** | Nodes, links, and all parameter values. The sequence is ready to use as-is after insertion. |
Sequences are unchangeable. Once saved, a sequence cannot be edited. To update a pattern, save a new sequence and remove or replace the old one in the workflows that use it. This protects existing workflows from unintended changes.
## Sequence library The sequence library is the central management view for all sequences in the workspace. To open it, go to Automation Hub icon **Automation Hub > Sequences**.

The Sequence Library
The library shows the following information for each sequence: | Column | Description | |--------|-------------| | **Name** | The display name assigned when the sequence was saved. | | **Type** | [Structure or Configured](#sequence-types). | | **Created** | When the sequence was created. | | **Last used** | When the sequence was last inserted into a workflow. | ### Organizing sequences into folders You can create folders to group related sequences. To add a folder: 1. In the left panel, click **Add folder**. 2. Enter the folder name and confirm. To move a sequence to a folder, click Three-dot icon next to the sequence and select **Move to**. ### Filtering sequences - Use the **All**, **Structure**, and **Configured** tabs in the left panel to filter by type. - Use **Select tag** to filter by tag. Tags are shared with workflow tags, so any tag you create here also appears in workflows and vice versa. - Use the search icon in the upper-right corner of the list to search by name. ## Saving a selection as a sequence --- You can save any group of connected nodes from a workflow canvas as a sequence. ### Requirements - The workflow must be saved at least as a draft before you can save a sequence from it. - The selected nodes must form a single connected chain with no gaps. ### Procedure 1. On the workflow canvas, select the nodes you want to save. 2. Hold **Shift** and click individual nodes, or drag a selection box around the desired area.

2. In the toolbar that appears above the selection, click the **Save as Sequence** icon. **Result**: The **Save as Sequence** dialog opens.

3. In the **Name your sequence** field, enter a name for the sequence. 4. From the **Folder** dropdown, select the folder where the sequence will be saved. If you want to create a new folder, click **Add folder** in the dropdown. 5. Optionally, add tags to help organize and find the sequence later. 6. From the **Type** dropdown, select the sequence type: - **Structure** - saves nodes and connections only, without configuration. - **Configured** - saves nodes, connections, and all configured parameter values. 7. Click **Save**. **Result**: The Sequence is saved and appears in the Sequence Library. ## Inserting a sequence into a workflow --- You can insert a sequence into a workflow in two ways: from the workflow canvas, or directly from the sequence library. ### From the workflow canvas 1. On the workflow canvas, click the **THEN** button on the node after which you want to insert the sequence. **Result**: A node picker opens. **Sequences** appears at the top of the list.

2. Click **Sequences**. **Result**: The sequence library opens as a picker. 3. Find the sequence you want to insert and click it. **Result**: The nodes from the sequence appear on the canvas. 4. If the sequence type is **Structure**, configure each node before saving or activating the workflow. If the sequence type is **Configured**, review the node settings and adjust any values specific to the current workflow. ### From the sequence library 1. Go to **Automation Hub > Sequences**. 2. Find the sequence you want to use. 3. Click Three-dot icon next to the sequence and select **Start with sequence**. **Result**: A new workflow is created with the sequence nodes already placed on the canvas. ## Deleting a sequence ---
Deleting a sequence does not affect workflows that have already used it - the nodes are already inserted to those canvases. However, the sequence will no longer be available to insert into new workflows.
To delete a sequence: 1. Go to **Automation Hub > Sequences**. 2. Find the sequence you want to delete. 3. Click Three-dot icon on the right side of the row. 4. Select **Delete** and confirm.
