# AMWorkflowView

An object that lets you view and edit Automator workflows in your app.

```
class AMWorkflowView
```

## Overview

A workflow view displays an instance of [`AMWorkflow`](/documentation/Automator/AMWorkflow).

You can use Interface Builder to add an instance of [`AMWorkflowView`](/documentation/Automator/AMWorkflowView) to a window in your app. You can then add an [`AMWorkflowView`](/documentation/Automator/AMWorkflowView) object to the nib window and use the controller’s [`workflowView`](/documentation/Automator/AMWorkflowController/workflowView-swift.property) outlet to connect it to the workflow view. The controller object also has [`run(_:)`](/documentation/Automator/AMWorkflowController/run(_:)) and [`stop(_:)`](/documentation/Automator/AMWorkflowController/stop(_:)) actions that can be connected to buttons or other user interface elements.
