Before you learn about Placeable Processes, it’s imperative you understand both Networks and Pipelines. Placeable Processes are essentially a blend of the two.

Sometimes you may run a section of your work in a repeated way with different parameters and therefore different results. If these repeated operations occur in isolation you should just make a Pipeline for them. However, if they’re part of work you’re already documenting with a Network you have two choices:

  • Make multiple branches of your Network, one for each execution. (This can get cluttered quickly!)
  • Use a Placeable Process to document several iterations of the same Network “branch” in one place.
