Studio is the visual editor where you build a workflow yourself, step by step. You drag the steps you need onto a canvas and connect them — like building a flowchart. You don’t always need Studio. The fastest way to start is to describe what you want and let anyformat build a Parse → Extract workflow for you. Reach for Studio when you need more than that — sorting documents by type, splitting a file that holds several documents, or checking results against your own rules. Studio canvas

How to open Studio

  • On an existing workflow: open the workflow and click the Studio tab.
  • When creating a new one: choose Create from Studio on the new-workflow screen. You start with a single Parse step and a blank canvas to build on.

​
The building blocks

You drag these from the Add Stages panel on the left. Most workflows only use the first two.
StepWhat it does
ParseReads the document and turns it into clean text and tables. Every workflow starts here.
ExtractPulls out the specific fields you ask for.
ClassifySorts documents into types you define, so each type can be handled differently.
SplitBreaks one file that contains several documents into separate pieces.
Validate (Beta)Checks the extracted data against rules you write in plain language, and flags anything that fails.
