  1. Click on Workflows in the Galaxy activity bar (on the left side of the screen, or in the top menu bar of older Galaxy instances). You will see a list of all your workflows
  2. Click on Import at the top-right of the screen
  3. On the new page, select the GA4GH servers tab, and configure the GA4GH Tool Registry Server (TRS) Workflow Search interface as follows:
    1. “TRS Server”: the TRS Server you want to search on (Dockstore or workflowhub.eu)

    2. Type in the search query

      galaxy TRS workflow search field, name:vgp is entered in the search bar, and five different workflows all labelled VGP are listed

    3. Expand the correct workflow by clicking on it
    4. Select the version you would like to import

The workflow will be imported to your list of workflows. Note that it will also carry a little blue-white shield icon next to its name, which indicates that this is an original workflow version imported from a TRS server. If you ever modify the workflow with Galaxy’s workflow editor, it will lose this indicator.

Below is a short video showing the entire uncomplicated procedure:
