When to Use This

Use this process when:

  • A workflow is already built and published

  • You want to make it available to one or more new groups (sites)

  • The workflow content does not need to change

If you need to change questions, routing, or logic first, update the workflow before publishing it to new groups.


🛠️ How to Publish an Existing Workflow to a New Group

  1. Open ANVL Manager

  2. Navigate to Mobilize → Editor

  3. Open Published in the left-hand menu

  4. Select the workflow you want to publish to a new group

  5. Click Save
    This creates a Draft based on the published workflow


🔍 Verify the Publish

After publishing:

  1. Refresh the browser page

  2. Open Published

  3. Use the Group Selector to select the new group

  4. Locate and open the workflow

  5. Confirm it appears as expected

⚠️ Workflow visibility follows an ~8-hour refresh cadence, so users will see the workflow the following day.


✅ What You Should See

  • The workflow remains the same template

  • It appears under Published for the newly selected group(s)

  • Existing groups are unaffected


⚠️ Important Notes

  • Always choose Update unless you intentionally want a new workflow template

  • Choosing Create Template will result in a duplicate workflow

  • If the workflow was recently published, users may need to sign out and back in to see it immediately


🔑 Key Takeaways

  • Use this process to extend workflows to new groups

  • No content changes are required

  • Update = same workflow, more groups

  • Verify group visibility after publishing
