# Combining adaptors to create workflows

### What is a workflow? 

Workflows are combinations of adaptors that work together to edit, clean, merge and transform your data. 

Users set up a workflow to perform data integration & manipulation: ingesting data from one or more data-sources, combining, cleaning, harmonising, and reshaping it, and then sending the data onward in a format that’s ready for downstream applications or sharing.

There are several call out bubbles that indicate the functionality of some adaptors such as removing extraneous data, merging data tables, and adding coordinates to place names"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
