# BPMN examples

Five processes, each chosen to demonstrate a different part of BPMN: parallel work, escalation, returned work, two pools, and sub-processes.

Each page lists what the process contains and the order to build it in, which is faster than describing every element position.

ℹ️

**Build these in the BPMN editor.** BPMN files carry their own layout geometry, so these are build recipes rather than pasteable XML. Use token simulation on each one before you publish it.
