What you CAN do

✅ CAN doDescription
Add new stages
  • Annotate stages: Add manual annotation steps
  • Review stages: Insert quality control layers
  • Consensus stages: Add agreement-based validation
  • Agent stages: Integrate AI model predictions
  • Router stages: Add task routing/distribution logic
Delete stages
  • Remove empty stages: Delete stages with zero tasks
  • System validation: Automatic checking prevents problematic deletions
Modify workflow connections
  • Change edge directions: Alter task flow paths
  • Expand router pathways: Add new routing options
  • Adjust percentage routing: Modify router distribution percentages
Workflow management
  • Save changes: Persist workflow modifications
  • Re-name: Change the name of stages
  • Pause project: Stop task flow during Workflow modifications
  • Track last edited: See modification history and who made changes.

Encord tracks all edits so if we need to investigate / roll back we are capable of doing so. Not all logs are exposed to customers.

What you CANNOT do

❌ CANNOT doDescription
Stage deletion

Cannot delete stages with tasks: Any stage containing tasks cannot be deleted. Move tasks to a different stage before deleting a stage.

Workflow
  • Cannot modify stage types: Cannot change an Annotate stage to a Review stage. You must delete the stage and add a different stage.
  • Cannot modify core stage settings: Cannot change fundamental stage configurations for Consensus stages.
Data modification
  • Cannot modify completed tasks: Historical task data remains unchanged
  • Cannot delete labels/annotations: Existing annotation data is protected by blocking deleting stages that have tasks.

Editing Non-Consensus Workflows

  • You CANNOT delete stages that contain tasks. If you want to delete a stage that has tasks, first move the tasks to a different stage and then delete the stage.
  • You CANNOT delete COMPLETE stages.

Editing Consensus Workflows

  • You CANNOT delete stages that contain tasks. If you want to delete a stage that has tasks, first move the tasks to a different stage and then delete the stage.
  • You CANNOT delete COMPLETE stages.
