# Managing Workflows

This section provides step-by-step instructions for specific tasks.

The `torc` CLI toolkit provides the simplest mechanism to build and manage workflows. It
provides most functionality and this section describes it.

Torc provides a terminal-based management console (run `torc tui`). Use it view the workflow
configurations and check status.

If you need or want more control, you
are welcome to use the API through OpenAPI-generated libaries or API tools like `curl`, [Postman](https://www.postman.com/), and [Insomnia](https://insomnia.rest/). You can also use Arango
tools to manage data directly in the database.
