On select MacBook Pro models, 'Quick Actions' are also accessible in the Touch Bar. When in 'Column' or 'Gallery' View in Finder, 'Quick Action' workflows are located in the bottom window preview pane. Saved workflows are shown in the 'Action' pop-up menu at the top of a Finder window and in the 'Services' menu. When finished, go File > Save to keep the workflow. You do so by selecting a topic from the 'Library' on the left side of the app, then choosing an action or file from the second column. Next, you'll want to add actions to your workflow.
