# Assigning a new Workflow version

Once a new version of the Workflow has been activated, **all onboarding packs** using the new Workflow will be updated to the new version. 

**New Candidates** registering under the onboarding pack with a new version will see the updated Workflow. 

**Existing Candidates** will continue with the previous version - Unless when activating the new workflow version you choose the option to '**Align Candidate Workflow Steps**':

**Align Candidate Workflow Steps**\
Clicking 'Yes' will update all the live candidates with this new workflow.

&#x20;Points to be aware of:

* This will only affect candidates who are not Validated, Rejected, Withdrawn, or Deleted.
* Only update candidates with the previous workflow version (if they are on an older version they will not get the update)
* Add any missing workflow steps from the new version.
* Remove incomplete workflow steps that no longer exist in the new version.
* This will not restore previously deleted workflow steps

Clicking yes, Align - You'll get an onscreen  confirmation when the 'Alignment is Completed'

#### **Alternative way to move current Candidates to a new Workflow or additional workflow**:

Sometimes only some of the candidates need an additional step/document to complete. In these cases you can choose to create a new onboarding pack with only that one step and then assign the onboarding pack in addition to the main onboarding pack the candidate is already registered against.

**Assign an Additional Workflow as an onboarding pack**

* Create a **new Business unit/onboarding pack**.
* **Assign** the **updated Workflow** to it.
* **Assign the existing Candidate** to this new Business unit/onboarding pack.&#x20;

**Replace the assigned onboarding pack with a new pack that has the new workflow**

If you want to reassign the candidate the new pack all together as it has the new workflow you can follow the steps as [if you assigned the wrong onboarding pack](/kyloe-connect-onboarding/welcome-to-kyloe-connect-onboarding/recruiter-guide/managing-a-candidates-record/reassigning-onboarding-packs.md).
