Editing Workflows

READ THIS FIRST

What you CAN do

✅ CAN do	Description
Add new stages	Annotate stages: Add manual annotation steps Review stages: Insert quality control layers Consensus stages: Add agreement-based validation Agent stages: Integrate AI model predictions Router stages: Add task routing/distribution logic
Delete stages	Remove empty stages: Delete stages with zero tasks System validation: Automatic checking prevents problematic deletions
Modify workflow connections	Change edge directions: Alter task flow paths Expand router pathways: Add new routing options Adjust percentage routing: Modify router distribution percentages
Workflow management	Save changes: Persist workflow modifications Re-name: Change the name of stages Pause project: Stop task flow during Workflow modifications Track last edited: See modification history and who made changes. Encord tracks all edits so if we need to investigate / roll back we are capable of doing so. Not all logs are exposed to customers.

What you CANNOT do

❌ CANNOT do	Description
Stage deletion	Cannot delete stages with tasks: Any stage containing tasks cannot be deleted. Move tasks to a different stage before deleting a stage.
Workflow	Cannot modify stage types: Cannot change an Annotate stage to a Review stage. You must delete the stage and add a different stage. Cannot modify core stage settings: Cannot change fundamental stage configurations for Consensus stages.
Data modification	Cannot modify completed tasks: Historical task data remains unchanged Cannot delete labels/annotations: Existing annotation data is protected by blocking deleting stages that have tasks.

Editing Non-Consensus Workflows

• You CANNOT delete stages that contain tasks. If you want to delete a stage that has tasks, first move the tasks to a different stage and then delete the stage.
• You CANNOT delete COMPLETE stages.

Editing Consensus Workflows

• You CANNOT delete stages that contain tasks. If you want to delete a stage that has tasks, first move the tasks to a different stage and then delete the stage.
