-Including the snowpack module in a workflow template allows you to keep track of the general snowpack structure and the condition of persistent weak layers (PWLs) for the location(s) that is associated with your workflow. The intent of the snowpack workflow module is to provide an electronic equivalent of the generalized snowpack profile that many avalanche safety operations draw on a whiteboard in their office.

 {{Note|If you have multiple workflows for a location (e.g., AM and PM meetings), the information is pre-populated from the last time you submitted any workflow for the location.

-You can only have a single Snowpack module step in a workflow template.
+You can have multiple Snowpack module steps in a workflow template, and each must be associated with a different location (or group of locations). If you leave the location box in the module blank the location is taken to be the location for the whole workflow.
 Any workflow template with a Snowpack module step will automatically have a [[Workflow summary]] step added at the end of the workflow. This summary allows users to review their observations and assessments before they are submitted.
