# Workflow Templates

The Workflow Templates sub-page lets you point StepSecurity at a GitHub repository that contains your own custom workflow templates. Once configured, those templates appear alongside the built-in set during orchestration, so you can apply your organization's standard workflows from one place.

### How it works

You specify a single GitHub repository under your account or organization. StepSecurity reads workflow files from the `.github/workflows` folder in that repository and makes them available as templates when you orchestrate other repositories.

### Configuring a templates repository

* Open User Settings and select Workflow Templates
* In the Repository with workflow templates field, enter the repository URL in the form `https://github.com/[owner]/[repo]`
* Click Update Templates Repository

Your custom templates will now show up the next time you orchestrate a repository.

### Removing the templates repository

To stop using your custom templates, click Remove Templates Repository on the same sub-page. StepSecurity will fall back to only the built-in templates.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.stepsecurity.io/administration/user-settings/workflow-templates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
