The upper section allows you to access the Process Settings screen (1), where you can create roles, set a default role, select from different themes for your process, and configure your Salesforce integration.

Deploy and Preview
(See Figure 4)
Deployment and preview refer to the process of publishing a digital process. They can be performed at various stages of development - for example, a user may deploy and preview the process for quality assurance testing or when it’s ready to be shared with the world. When a deployment process ends, it will display an indicator:
- Successful deployment
- The deployment process failed with errors
- The deployment process passed, but with warnings
After a successful deployment from the Webflows screen, a link to the process becomes available for copying and pasting.
