In Bpanda, a process always follows the same path: someone drafts it, others discuss it in a review, it is released and published, and only then does everyone read it. The topics in this area follow this path.

- **Finding Processes** — search, filter, set favourites, navigate the process landscape.
- **Understanding Processes** — read the process page, interpret the diagram, ask questions.
- **Defining Roles for a Process** — assign the Process Owner, Process Contributors and Process Participants of an individual process.
- **Creating Process Drafts** — use the **Modeler** to draft a new process version.
- **Releasing and Publishing Processes** — go through the release process, create and end reviews, set the validity.
- **Process Hierarchy** — create process maps, build up the hierarchy and place processes within it.
- **Managing Processes** — use the dashboard, assign roles for several processes, show and hide, export.

In Bpanda's main menu you will find **Processes** with the entries **Process Hierarchy** and **Manage Processes**.
