To make a workflow using Workflow Designer, you first create the workflow and then add inputs, pipelines, and outputs to it.

When using CLI or REST API, you can create a workflow and add components to it in a single step. See GUID-FF6FAC56-8B6F-4698-987F-62937814E11F#GUID-FF6FAC56-8B6F-4698-987F-62937814E11F and GUID-13699C35-1E4C-45F2-9F08-6050EAF1A329#GUID-13699C35-1E4C-45F2-9F08-6050EAF1A329.

NoteWorkflows cannot be edited while they are running.
