# The anatomy of a prebuilt process flow

## Introduction

A prebuilt process can include any number/combination of the following components:

## Viewing the contents of a prebuilt process flow

As you browse the [process flows marketplace](/product-documentation/marketplace/marketplace-process-flows.md), you'll see that each process flow is displayed with a visual summary of what's included - for example:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/rIQGPtBhsDlBDrmEdaWn" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

{% hint style="info" %}
For more information about this summary please see [The Patchworks marketplace](/product-documentation/marketplace/marketplace-process-flows.md).
{% endhint %}

To see a read-only view of a process flow before it's installed, [find the required process flow in the marketplace](/product-documentation/marketplace/marketplace-process-flows.md) and click the associated **view** button:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/Dychk0zk1JRHOAcDy4bY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

The process flow is displayed in read-only mode, with a breakdown of its components:
