## Workflows How-Tos

How to accomplish specific tasks in detail, like creation/deletion, configuration, and management.

- [How to Manage Workflows with the Paperspace GUI and CLI](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/paperspace/workflows/how-to/manage-workflows/index.html.md): Use the Paperspace GUI and CLI to create new Workflows, import existing ones, and run them.
- [How to Create Datasets for Gradient Workflows](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/paperspace/workflows/how-to/create-datasets/index.html.md): Create a new dataset for Workflows in the command line or UI.
- [How to Use Custom Containers in Gradient Workflows](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/paperspace/workflows/how-to/manage-containers/index.html.md): Use and manage custom containers in Gradient Workflows to define reproducible environments for each Workflow step.
- [How to Connect to the Gradient GitHub App](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/paperspace/workflows/how-to/connect-to-github-app/index.html.md): The Gradient GitHub App lets you start training runs in Workflows and Deployments by listening for commits in GitHub.

## Workflows Reference

CLI/SDK documentation for Workflows, including example requests, available parameters, and references for the Workflow spec and Gradient Actions.

- [Workflow Spec Reference](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/paperspace/workflows/reference/workflow-spec/index.html.md): Block definitions and examples for Workflow specs.
- [Gradient Actions](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/paperspace/workflows/reference/gradient-actions/index.html.md): Gradient Actions are composable building blocks for creating reproducible machine learning Workflows. Actions use the uses and with syntax to specify how a job step executes. container uses: container@v1 with: image: bash:5 args: ["echo", "hello", "world"] …

## Workflows Concepts

Explanations and definitions of core concepts in Workflows.

- [Environment Variables](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/paperspace/workflows/concepts/environment-variables/index.html.md): Environment variables are one way to pass information to and from Workflows, and between the jobs within them.
- [Understanding Inputs & Outputs](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/paperspace/workflows/concepts/understanding-io/index.html.md): The steps in a Gradient Workflow can communicate with other steps using inputs and outputs, which can be datasets, volumes, or strings.
