+The final state (result) of a table is the result of all actions of this table applied consequently, one after another.
 Some actions (e.g. [[transformations:append|Append Table]]) require another table. These actions have two inputs -- one input is the result of previous action in the same table and the other input is the final state (i.e. the result of last action) of the other table.

-EasyMorph workflows can have following automation:
+EasyMorph workflows can perform external actions, for instance:
   * File and folder operations (copy/rename/delete/unzip/zip/download)
   * Running external applications, scripts and batch files

   * Embedded PowerShell scripting
+A workflow can be composed using advanced patterns:
+  * FOR..EACH type of loops (iterations)
+  * DO..WHILE/UNTIL type of loops (iterations)
+  * IF..THEN..ELSE type of conditional branching
+  * Subroutines
+  * Error recovery
+Workflows can have complex hierarchical structure when a project can consist of multiple modules, and each module can consist of multiple table groups. Such a structure allows designing and navigating workflows with hundreds of transformation steps (actions).
 ==== Integration with external systems ====
 EasyMorph workflows can also integrate and interact with external systems and applications.
