Save a workflow
Saving a workflow allows you to keep the design for later. You can make changes and save the workflow till it's ready to be published. Saving a workflow, whether new or existing, does not publish the workflow. A draft workflow is a saved workflow that's not published. The status of saved workflows is shown as Draft in the Workflows page.
Caution: If you edit a published workflow and save the changes, it becomes a draft version of that workflow and is given the status Draft in the Workflow list page.
