.. _ContextMenu_StartWorkflow:

Context Menu > Start Workflow
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

This action opens a new browser tab allowing you to create a new *Workflow*, where the workflow will explicitly be *about* the selected asset.

.. note::
   The difference between normal workflows and workflows that are about a given asset is that
   the latter should only contain edits that relate to that asset.
   TopBraid does not strictly enforce this, because it is often difficult to decide whether a change
   is related to a certain asset or not.
   However, you may define custom workflow templates that implement stricter policies and prevent
   certain workflow transitions if edits are outside of the scope of an asset.
