# Get Workflow Draft

> Get the editable draft of a workflow.

Return the editable draft of a workflow. If no draft exists yet, the published version is cloned into a new draft (along with any associated AI agent chats), and that draft is returned.

<Note>
  This authenticates as a linked account, so it operates on that account's **private** workflows.
</Note>

## Authentication

This endpoint is scoped to a linked account, so it accepts **either** authentication method.

**Option 1 — API key**

<ParamField header="x-api-key" type="string">Your Refold API key.</ParamField>
<ParamField header="linked_account_id" type="string">The linked account that owns the workflow.</ParamField>

**Option 2 — Session token**

<ParamField header="Authorization" type="string">Session token. **Format:** `Bearer YOUR_SESSION_TOKEN`</ParamField>

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="workflow_id" type="string" required>
  The workflow ID. This draft ID is what you pass to [Publish Workflow](/v3/api-reference/workflows/publish-workflow) — publishing then returns a separate published ID.
</ParamField>
