# Running Workflows
> How to run workflows on documents in anyformat
Once a workflow is published, run it on documents to extract structured data.
***
## Adding documents
Add documents to a workflow three ways:
* **Manually:** upload through the interface
* **Via API:** send documents programmatically
* **Cloud storage:** import from Microsoft OneDrive or SharePoint. See [Cloud storage](/guides/cloud-storage).
***
## Document statuses
Each document has a status that reflects its state:
| Status | Description |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Not started** | The workflow has not run on this document yet |
| **Queued** | The document waits for an available processing slot |
| **In progress** | anyformat is processing the document |
| **Processed** | anyformat processed the document. Nobody has reviewed it. |
| **Verified** | Someone reviewed the extracted data and confirmed it correct. Shown in green. |
| **Error** | Processing failed. This document is not counted toward usage. |
| **Cancelled** | Processing stopped before it finished |
***
## Running a workflow
Two ways start processing:
* **In bulk, from the table:** select the unprocessed documents and click **Run**.
* **One at a time, from the document view:** open a document by clicking its filename in the table, then click **Process document** in the panel on the right. After an error, the same button reads **Process again**.
Processing takes a few seconds for a short document, and a couple of minutes for a long one. Three things drive it:
* Document size
* Number of pages
* Current system load
If a document ends up in **Error**, open it and click **Process again**. Errors are usually temporary, or caused by an unreadable file. An errored document is not counted toward usage. If it keeps failing, check that the file is not corrupted or password-protected.
***
## Viewing results
As soon as a document finishes processing, its results appear. You do not refresh. View them two ways:
Review all your documents at once. The first tab shows one row per document and one column per field. Further tabs show each node's output: Parse, Classify, Split, Extraction, Validation.
Click a filename to open one document on its own, with each value highlighted on the page it came from. It carries the same per-node tabs as the table view.
***
## Exporting results
From the workflow view, download processed results in:
* **CSV:** for spreadsheets and data analysis
* **Excel:** for business users
* **JSON:** for integrations and automation
Export:
* All documents at once
* Selected documents
* One document, as a row-level export
