Configure Send to Storage

Last Updated: May 19, 2026

This topic explains how to add a Storage step to a workflow.

Key Points

Review the Send to Storage topic to understand the requirements and how this feature works. Review the following key points:

  • You cannot edit a published workflow. You must either create a copy or unpublish the workflow to edit it.
  • There must be a form or document to use as a resource.
  • There must be a storage location, either Vasion Storage or a third-party storage provider.
  • To send a file to multiple folder locations, use a Split step in Workflow.

Edit a Workflow

You cannot edit a workflow that has the Published status. If you started the published workflow previously, you must make a copy and edit the copy. If you have not started the published workflow before, you can unpublish the workflow to edit it.

Do the following to unpublish a workflow:

  1. In Vasion Automate select Workflow from the left-side navigation.
  2. Select Business Process.
  3. Select the More menu More menu. to the right of the workflow.

    Workflow: Business Process page showing published workflow and expanded More menu.

  4. Select Unpublish.
  5. In the modal select Unpublish.

The status changes to Draft, and you can now edit the workflow.
