# Creating and editing workflows

> When you configure a personalization process for a product, you need to create a workflow. It is described in a workflow file in the JSON format.

In this article, you'll learn how to create and manipulate workflow files in Customer's Canvas.

## Creating a workflow file

In Customer's Canvas, you can work with your products using two approaches: The Product Information Management and Product Specifications. You may have already learned about working with workflow files for PIM products in the [Managing files](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/hub/admin-guide/workflows/managing-files.md) topic. Now, let's learn how you can work with workflow files for products based on the Product Specification approach.

## Managing workflows for Product Specification

### Opening workflow manager

In the **Workflows** for Product Specification, you can see a file manager for manipulating workflow files. There are two folders: **Standard** and **Custom**.

In the **Standard** folder, you can see the default workflow files. They have restrictions for manipulating. You can only copy them to the **Custom** folder to create your own workflow file based on a default one. In the **Custom** folder, you can create your own workflow files and manipulate them as assets.

Let's consider how you can manipulate files in both folders.

### Manipulating workflows in the Standard folder

In the **Standard** folder, you can see default workflows. You can only download and open these workflow files.

If you want to change something in a default workflow file, you need to copy this file to the **Custom** folder and edit the new workflow file.

### Manipulating workflows in the Custom folder

In the **Custom** folder, you can manipulate files as assets: download, upload, delete, copy, move, rename, and create from scratch. To learn more, read the [manipulating assets](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/hub/admin-guide/manage-assets/file-manager.md) section. Let's see some typical examples for workflow files.

### Creating a new file

To create a new file, click the **New** button > **Workflow**, or right-click anywhere on a blank space in the file list of the current folder and select **Workflow**. A blank workflow editor will be opened.

### Editing a workflow file

To edit a workflow file, double-click the item or right-click and select **Edit**. A workflow file opens in a new window.

### Connecting and testing a workflow

Before connecting a workflow to a product, you need to make a permission for this. Go to the **Custom** folder, right-click a file and select **Properties**. Then, click **Actions** and select **Enable test**.
