Step 2: Locate the workflow

Find each workflow(s) that contains the document you need to replace.

1. Go to Setup → Workflows
2. Open each workflow that might contain the document
3. Look through sections like Health & Safety, Induction, or Terms & Conditions
4. Note which section contains the old document

note

Not sure which workflows contain your document? Open each active workflow and use the preview feature to check what applicants see.
