## Overview

We do this by letting your team share the same **custom nodes environments**, **models** and **workflows** with your teams.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Import your workflow">
    Either via the dashboard (recommended) or from your local ComfyUI.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Build a machine">
    Define a [machine](/v2/machines/environment) configuration to run your workflows on.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Download models">
    Download [models](/v2/models/download) into your private storage, to be used in your workflows and team.

  </Step>

  <Step title="ComfyUI in the cloud">
    Use ComfyUI in your [workspace](/v2/workspace/overview), to modify and test your workflows on cloud GPUs.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Expose inputs">
    Expose workflow inputs with [our custom nodes](/v2/deployments/inputs), for API and playground use.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deploy APIs">
    Power apps with your [API deployments](/v2/deployments/create).

  </Step>

  <Step title="Share with team">
    Let your team use your workflows in [playground](/v2/team/playground) without using ComfyUI.
