K2 Workflow Designer - File Menu

This content applies to legacy design tools (such as K2 Studio, K2 for Visual Studio, or the Silverlight-based K2 workflow design tool). If you have upgraded from K2 blackpearl 4.7 to K2 Five, these tools may still be available in your environment. These legacy tools may not be available in new installations of K2 Five. These legacy tools may also not be available, supported, or behave as described, in future updates or versions of K2. Please see the legacy component support policy for more information about support for these components.

The K2 Workflow Designer contains various menus which assist a user by providing a selection of tools that can be used in the designing or editing of a workflow. The File Menu is one of the menus allowing a user to save, publish or edit the properties of a workflow.

The Main Menu is accessible by clicking on the File Menu item.
