The **Designer** supports the **BPM Manager** in creating and updating the Process Space by importing or uploading the process diagrams. The Designer is also the specialist for the integrated **Modeler** and is responsible for designing processes.

**Designers** have access to all versions of all processes.

## What are my tasks as a Designer? [#what-are-my-tasks-as-a-designer]

The **Designer** role applies to the entire Process Space, not to individual processes. An **Account Manager** assigns it in the account management, see [Appointing Process Designers and BPM Managers](/en/settings/manage-account/process-designers-and-bpm-managers).

What this role is allowed to do is described in [Roles and Authorizations](/en/getting-started/roles-and-authorizations).

## How are processes imported and updated? [#how-are-processes-imported-and-updated]

In principle, process versions can initially be made available in the Process Space in the following ways:

- importing BPMN diagrams from any modeling tool as a BPMN file
- uploading processes from Innovator with the Innovator Connector
- creating a draft in Bpanda and submitting it as a process revision. There are three forms of draft: a process sketch with name, description and attachments if applicable; a happy path, that is, a task list with assignment to responsibility areas (lanes) from which the diagram is created automatically; or a process diagram in the integrated Modeler.

Drafts are created by **Designers** and **BPM Managers**. **Process Owners** can also create a draft, but can only maintain the name, description, attachments and architecture relations in it. They cannot adjust the diagram.

To update a process from a modeling tool, you import the amended version again as a BPMN file. Processes from Innovator are uploaded with the Innovator Connector; it automatically assigns the new version to its predecessor.

If the process version was created with the **Modeler**, the **Designer** can also edit it in the **Modeler** for updating and submit it as a process revision. See [Create Process Drafts](/en/processes/create-process-drafts).
