# Adding Workflows

## Adding Marketplace Workflows

In the ACTIVATE Marketplace, we have pre-configured workflow tools and templates you can use to complete your work.

:::info Note
This section is a quick-start guide for adding workflows. For more detailed information about the Marketplace, please see [**Navigating the Marketplace**](/docs/marketplace).

Click **Marketplace**.

The **Use latest version** button will turn green, and the message _Using version successfully_ will appear in the bottom right corner of your screen.

On the **Workflows** page, the workflow will appear in the **Marketplace Workflows** section. The workflow's version will be included in its **Name** and **Tags**.

## Creating Local Workflows

Local workflows have their YAML defined within the ACTIVATE platform.

Navigate to the **Workflows** page.

![Screenshot of the user clicking Workflows in the navigation bar.](/content-images/docs/run/workflows/adding-workflows/click-workflows-page.png)

Click **+ Add Workflow**.

![Screenshot of the user clicking the Add Workflow button.](/content-images/docs/run/workflows/adding-workflows/click-add-workflow.png)

On the next page, configure your workflow by selecting the **Local** workflow type.

Enter a **Workflow Name**. Optionally, enter a **Description** and **Tags**.

Click **Add Workflow**.

For the next steps, please see [**Building Workflows**](/docs/run/workflows/building-workflows).

## Creating Remote Workflows

Remote workflows have a remotely defined YAML file and import files from a remote repository every time the workflow is executed. With this approach, workflow files are updated automatically whenever changes are saved in the remote repository.

Navigate to the **Workflows** page.

![Screenshot of the user clicking Workflows in the navigation bar.](/content-images/docs/run/workflows/adding-workflows/click-workflows-page.png)

Click **+ Add Workflow**.

![Screenshot of the user clicking the Add Workflow button.](/content-images/docs/run/workflows/adding-workflows/click-add-workflow.png)

On the next page, configure your workflow by entering a **Workflow Name** and selecting **Remote** as your workflow type. Optionally, enter a **Description** and **Tags**.

Click **Add Workflow**.

For the next steps, please see [**Building Workflows**](/docs/run/workflows/building-workflows).

### Favoriting Workflows

You can add frequently used workflows to your **Dashboard** for easy access.

On the **Workflows** page, click the slashed heart icon  to favorite a workflow. The icon will change to a plain heart  after you click it.

![Screenshot of the user selecting the favorite icon on the Workflows page.](/content-images/docs/run/workflows/adding-workflows/click-heart-workflows-page.png)

The workflow will now appear in **Favorite Workflows** on the **Dashboard**.
