-h2. Registering a CWL workflow
+h2. Developing workflows
+
+For an introduction and and detailed documentation about writing CWL, see the "CWL User Guide":http://commonwl.org/v1.0/UserGuide.html and the "CWL Specification":http://commonwl.org/v1.0 .
+
+See "Best Practices for writing CWL":{{site.baseurl}}/user/cwl/cwl-style.html and "Arvados CWL Extensions":{{site.baseurl}}/user/cwl/cwl-extensions.html for additional information about using CWL on Arvados.
+
+h2. Registering a workflow to use in Workbench
+
+Use @--create-workflow@ to register a CWL workflow with Arvados. This enables you to share workflows with other Arvados users, and run them by clicking the <span class="btn btn-sm btn-primary"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-gear"></i> Run a process...</span> button on the Workbench Dashboard and on the command line by UUID.

+
+You can provide a partial input file to set default values for the workflow input parameters. You can also use the @--name@ option to set the name of the workflow:

+
+You can run a registered workflow at the command line by its UUID:

+
+h2. Using cwltool
+
+When developing a workflow, it is often helpful to run it on the local host to avoid the overhead of submitting to the cluster. To execute a workflow only on the local host (without submitting jobs to an Arvados cluster) you can use the @cwltool@ command. Note that when using @cwltool@ you must have the input data accessible on the local file system using either @arv-mount@ or @arv-get@ to fetch the data from Keep.
-Use @--create-workflow@ to register a CWL workflow with Arvados.

-The following examples assume that you have prepared to run arvados-cwl-runner tool as explained in the "Using Common Workflow Language":{{site.baseurl}}/user/topics/running-workflow-command-line.html.textile.liquid page.
+If you get the error @JavascriptException: Long-running script killed after 20 seconds.@ this may be due to the Dockerized Node.js engine taking too long to start. You may address this by installing Node.js locally (run @apt-get install nodejs@ on Debian or Ubuntu) or by specifying a longer timeout with the @--eval-timeout@ option. For example, run the workflow with @cwltool --eval-timeout=40@ for a 40-second timeout.
