@nastasha-solomon In the Pre-requisites section, we should add a note on RBAC. They will need to appropriate permissions to leverage workflows.

This is great stuff! The structure is flowing well, and the content is easy to understand! ✨

I left some comments and suggestions for your consideration — feel free to accept or ignore as you see fit :)

@jamesspi @tinnytintin10 wondering if this step needs to be updated as per the recommendation here.

[jamesspi]

I left a note to @talboren that it's not typical that we would backport a breaking change in a patch release. I would say leave as is for 9.3

[nastasha-solomon]

Is elastic/workflows#3 fixing this issue for 9.3.1? If so, would we need to update the examples as per what's described in elastic/workflows#2?

LGTM! 🚀
