Start a Workflow Manually in K2 Management

Use K2 Management to manually start a workflow. You can, for example, deploy your workflow to the server at various points while building it, and then test it by starting instances of the workflow manually.

Specific rights are needed to start a workflow manually. For more information on these rights, see the Server Rights topic.
