# Create processing flows

A processing flow is a sequence of processing tasks. As part of the creation process, you must create a flow then [create and configure each task](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/create-a-processing-task.html "Create a processing task") in the flow.

To create processing flows:

1. On the menu bar, click **Manage** :mdiCogOutline:.
2. On the **Manage** page, click **Media processing**.
3. On the **Media processing** page, select the set you want to edit and click **Add flow**.
4. In the **Flow settings** dialog, fill out the following properties:

    | Field | Type | Description | Mandatory |
    | --- | --- | --- | --- |
    | **Name** | String | Name used for the media processing flow. We recommend that you use a name that characterizes the file type category. | Yes |
    | **Priority** | List | The priority of jobs handled by this processing flow. | Yes |
    | **File types** | String | A list of file extensions to be processed by this flow. After entering an extension, confirm it by pressing Enter, the space bar, or the comma key. Do not assign the same file extension to more than one flow in a set. | Yes |

5. Click **Save**.

After you create a processing flow, you can [add tasks to it](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/create-a-processing-task.html "Create a processing task").
