I have created a custom workflow under '/conf/global/settings/workflow/models'  and deployed to aem I am able to see the workflows in crx/de but not visible in 'http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/workflow/admin/console/content/models.html'also the workflow is not present under '/var/workflow/models'

below is the .content.xml file of the wf:

Hi @nandan123 ,

You need to include the workflow runtime model under var too in your code repo and deploy that along with the model created under the model. Refer -https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-65/content/implementing/developing/ext...

Hi @narendiran_ravi thanks for the reply.

Earlier I kept the workflow under /etc but not under /var, it was working fine. Is it necessary to include the workflow too?

Hi @nandan123 ,

Refer this repository structuring - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-65/content/implementing/deploying/rest... . The runtime model is moved to /var.
