 # Workflow syntax
 
-The workflow section defines a list of steps to build, test and deploy your code. Steps are executed serially, in the order in which they are defined. If a step returns a non-zero exit code, the workflow and therefore all other workflows and the pipeline immediately aborts and returns a failure status.
