## Overview

A [space administrator](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/650314379) can use this screen to import workflows to the space from the [Workflows Exchange](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CWE). 

![Space import workflows dashboard with option selected to display workflow diagram for each workflow in list from repository](media://2f554d4b-1707-4cdd-b10f-b14b9ce277ed)

The workflow can be imported to the [Document Management dashboard](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649827041) or the [page workflows templates dashboard](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649827962) in space tools.

[Confluence Admins](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/650150846) can restrict this feature to members of a specific user group – see: [Configuration - Global](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649889951).

You also may be required to validate your credentials depending on the configuration of the Confluence server.

## Category

You can optionally filter the workflows to a specific category – either via the dropdown category menu, or by choosing a category button shown at the bottom of each workflow.

## Importing

Choose the **Import** button next to a workflow and **Confirm** the import. This dialogue box will warn you with an [IMPORTED] lozenge if a workflow of the same name already exists in the space.

Choose **IMPORT** to add the workflow.
