Transfer of documents between workflows (parent and sub)

Hi guys,

I have created a subworkflow that I would like to use to implement a signing process. I copy the required attachments from the parent workflow to this subworkflow.
How do I get the changed (signed) attachments back into the parent workflow and how can I then exchange the original documents there?
I think it's not too complicated, but unfortunately I don't know how to do it ;-)

Or is there perhaps a way to use certain documents from the parent workflow directly without creating a copy in the subworkflow?

Thanks for now
Gerd

Hi Gerd,

You could:
a) copy all attachments to subworkflow - if you are starting it with 'Start a subworkflow' action -> https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Action/Workflow/StartWorkFlow/#5-copy-attachments-to-subworkflow
b) use add attachment action on register path -> https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Action/Attachments/Action_AddAttachment

After subworkflow ends - you could remove old file with this action: https://docs.webcon.com/docs/2023R2/Studio/Action/Attachments/Action_RemoveAttachment, and add signed document back to parent workflow with action from b).
