# Workflows and techniques

> Save a canvas graph as a workflow you can reload and rerun, start from pre-mades, and save any selection of nodes as a technique.

Once a graph works, you don't want to rebuild it. Save it as a **workflow** to reload and rerun it, or save part of it as a **technique** to drop into other graphs.

## Save a workflow

**1. Open the save dialog**

Right-click the canvas and choose **Save** from **Canvas Actions**.

**2. Choose Workflow**

The dialog has a **Workflow** | **Pipeline** toggle. Leave it on **Workflow** to save the graph for yourself and your team. Choose **Pipeline** to publish it with declared inputs; see [Pipelines](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/canvas/pipelines.md).

**3. Name it and save**

Give it a name you'll recognize later.

Your canvas also autosaves as you go, so you won't lose a graph in progress. A saved workflow is what you reload on purpose.

## Load a workflow

Choose **Load Workflow** from **Canvas Actions** to open **My Workflows**. It has three tabs:

| Tab | What's in it |
| - | - |
| **Pre-mades** | Templates that ship with Continuum. A good place to start. |
| **Saved** | Workflows your team has saved. |
| **Pipelines** | Published pipelines. |

From **My Workflows** you can search, load, rename, and delete.

## Rerun with new inputs

Load a workflow, swap the inputs — a new product shot, a different prompt — and choose **Run Flow**. Nodes that didn't change are skipped. Choose **Rerun all** to regenerate everything.

## Techniques

A **technique** is a saved selection of nodes. Select the nodes, right-click, and choose **Save selection**. Techniques appear in the **Techniques** submenu at the top of **Add Node**, so you can drop a proven chunk of graph into any canvas.

## Try it

Right-click the canvas, choose **Load Workflow**, open **Pre-mades**, and load one. Swap in your own product shot and choose **Run Flow**.

Or ask Claude or ChatGPT:

* "Which canvas workflows have we saved?"
* "Load our 'Product on white' workflow onto my open canvas and run it with this photo."
* "Save this canvas as a workflow called 'Holiday flat lay'."

## What's next

* [Pipelines](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/canvas/pipelines.md): Publish a workflow others can run with new inputs.
* [Skills and grounding](https://docs.trycontinuum.ai/canvas/skills-and-grounding.md): Keep every rerun on-brand.
