Follow the work, and weigh in when it matters.

Each time a workflow runs — on schedule, or because you tapped Run now — it opens a run: a timeline of its stages, top to bottom. You can watch it live as it happens, or read it back a year later. Nothing happens off the record.

Every stage on the timeline shows who did it, how long it took, and where it got to:

Open any stage to see what it worked from (inputs received), what it produced (outputs), the files it wrote to your vault, what it remembered, and any email it drafted. There is a transcript too, if you want to read its actual thinking.

While a run is going you are in charge of it. Cancel run stops it. Resume carries on a run that is waiting on you — or one that failed, from the stage that stopped, without repeating finished work. And Run now starts a fresh run any time.

Agents do not barge in. When one hits something only you can settle, the run pauses — politely — and a card appears in your 1Presence inbox: things your agents need from you. Answer it and the run picks up from exactly where it stopped.

One more card is not from a run at all: Shared with you, when a person shares a document with you by name and you can accept or decline. Each card tells you which agent, which workflow, which stage, and how long it has been waiting. You can answer right there, or open the full run timeline first. Answered cards drop into Already dealt with below — nothing is deleted — and a card you handled some other way can be settled with Mark resolved. Turn on notifications and you will get a ping on your phone the moment one needs you.

The inbox is also where you hear about work that is quietly changing. If a routine starts producing noticeably less, or drifting from what you set it up to do, a note arrives — a From a run card — saying so in plain words, with the likely reason already checked, like a connection that expired or a file that moved. Where there is a small, safe fix, it comes written out in full: what it says now, what would change, and why — yours to approve in one tap or dismiss. Changes to instructions you wrote always wait for your yes. And a routine that has clearly stopped doing its job is paused, never silently — the card explains why, and resuming is one tap.

In a run, the first time a stage reads a connected account — your mail, your calendar — it asks once, and that answer is kept, so it does not stop each time after. The same goes for the first time a stage tries something that leaves a mark on the world — sending an email, posting somewhere, writing into a folder — it stops and asks, once, for that exact recipient or folder. You allow or deny; it remembers your answer; and you can take any grant back later.

This is why a workflow you have never run before will not surprise you. The consequential step waits in your 1Presence inbox the first time — and only the first time.
