In some embodiments, these workflows can be shared in a hub/spoke or hierarchical relationship, where a hub or parent entity can adjust and propagate changes in shared portions of a workflow as needed. In other embodiments, the workflows can be shared in a peer-to-peer basis, where different peers can gain access, as needed or allowed, to portions of another peer's workflow.
