.. _ContextMenu_StartWorkflow:

Context Menu > Start Workflow
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

This action opens a new browser tab allowing you to create a new *Workflow*, where the workflow will explicitly be *about* the selected asset.

.. note::
   The difference between normal workflows and workflows that are about a given asset is that
   the latter should only contain edits that relate to that asset.
   TQ Data Foundation does not strictly enforce this, because it is often difficult to decide whether a change
   is related to a certain asset or not.
   However, you may define custom workflow templates that implement stricter policies and prevent
   certain workflow transitions if edits are outside of the scope of an asset.
