Navigating the Marketplace
In the PW Marketplace, you can access pre-configured workflows, storage resources, and compute resources from other users in your organization.
Click your username, then Marketplace.
You’ll be taken to the Marketplace home page.
All resource categories are limited to ten items by default. Click View all to see a complete item list.
Use the search bar at the top of the page to find items by creator, type, or name. To filter viewable items, click an item in Filters or Type on the left.
Using an Item
This method makes an item's configuration available to use at any time.
Click the Marketplace item you’d like to use.
On the next page, click the arrow button to choose a version.
If you select the latest version, your Marketplace item will be updated whenever the item’s creator makes a change or a new version.
Alternatively, you can select any of the versions listed in the arrow dropdown menu. If you use a specific version of an item, it will not be updated in your account if the item’s creator makes changes.
Click the Use button.
The Use button will turn green, and the message Using version successfully will appear in the top right corner of your screen.
If you use a workflow, it will appear under Marketplace Workflows on your Workflows page. The version number or Latest will be included in the item’s Name and Tags.
If you use a resource or a storage item, its configuration will be available when you click Load From Market on the Resource or Storage configuration page, respectively.
Forking an Item
This method allows you to copy an item into your PW account and edit it directly in your IDE.
Click the Marketplace item you’d like to use.

A dialog box will appear. Enter a New workflow name, then click Fork.
You’ll be taken to the item’s configuration page.
The item will also appear in Compute, Workflows, or Storage, depending on the type of item you’ve selected.
Forking automatically creates the new item from the latest published version; the version number you created the fork from will be included in Tags.
