Workflows

From My Workflows, pick an active workflow and choose Run. You give it the starting input, pick the autonomy level, and start. The run view shows each step as it executes: what went in, what came out, and how long it took.

Some workflows run on a schedule instead of waiting for someone to press Run. Watchers have their own guide: Watchers.

A supervised run pauses at every checkpoint a workflow defines and before any action that changes something outside Sonata. An autonomous run clears its own checkpoints, but here is the important part: even an autonomous run still pauses before any write. No workflow sends, files, or creates anything without a person approving that specific action.

When a run pauses, it shows an approval card: what the step wants to do, named plainly. For an action an agent proposed itself, you can open a disclosure to see exactly what it will send before deciding. Approve and the action runs once; deny and the run handles it gracefully.

Every run keeps a complete, ordered record: each step, its input and output, and whether a person approved it or it proceeded automatically, with who decided. Runs survive even if the workflow that produced them is later deleted, because each run stores its own copy of the steps it executed.
