The Automation Store flow starts from any idea with the status Live - In production. From this point, a CoE representative with publishing permissions will make the automation available for large consumption to all the Business Users.

Participants of the flow are:

- The **Technical Reviewer** - represented by any user from the CoE with Publishing Permissions - The **Program Manager** - represented by a decision-maker that can bring an Idea to Live and Production - The **Automation User** - represented by the business user that uses the Automation Store

The steps of the flow are as follows:

- Any idea with the status [Live - In Production](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-hub/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/publishing-from-the-live-in-production-ideas#publishing-a-live---in-production-automation-idea) can be Published to the Store by the **Technical Reviewer**, regardless if it is generated via the Employee Driven, CoE Driven or [Citizen Development Flow](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-hub/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/publishing-from-the-cd-flow#publishing-from-the-citizen-development-flow). - Once the Package is published to the Store, depending on the Instant Consumption settings, the **Automation Users** can [Get or Request](https://docs.uipath.com/automation-hub/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/getting-and-requesting-automations#getting-and-requesting-automations) their desired automation.
