# 🏃♀️ Running a workflow
This help page will help you to run the tutorial workflow.
The tutorial workflow is useful to get familiar with the steps required to run a workflow on the AWF platform. This tutorial workflow will reverse the order of letters inside a text file (.txt), provided by the user.
After logging in to the AWF website (opens new window) you will see a list of workflows that you can run. Click the tutorial tile to get started. The left side of the page shows a few parameters that need to be defined for the workflow to run. This workflow requires a name, e.g. "my first workflow", and a .txt file containing some text. This .txt file can be uploaded by pressing the cloud icon.
💡 TIP
If you want you can use the sample file to run the workflow by downloading it using the 'Example' button.
The right side of the page shows what the workflow structure looks like. Since this is a very simply workflow it consists of only 3 steps:
- Uploading the file specified by the user;
- Running a python script;
- Making the results available through the AWF website.
After clicking the submit run button the workflow status screen will be shown. Running the workflow will take a couple of minutes so sit back, relax, and wait for the green checkmark to show up next to your workflow.
Clicking the workflow will show the workflow details, and after the workflow is done the resulting file will be downloadable underneath the workflow results banner. If you clicked the workflow before it was done you might need to refresh the page to see the results show up.
That's it! You've just run your first workflow. If you are interested to how the AWF system works behind the scenes or want to set up your own workflow, you can go to the next page.
