Advanced Workflows

Advanced workflows are designed to help you edit, validate, and process citations and references in your document.

This section covers the specialised, procedural tools designed for complex document processing and refinement which are important for maintaining editorial compliance and preparing files for advanced export. You can access your organisation's available workflows in the Edit group of the Orion ribbon.
