##Interacting with a workflow in your browser
-Many workflows, when run, require interaction with a user.
-This can be to enter data values, confirm that intermediate results are OK to
proceed with the

Interactions have already been used for many purposes. These include:
- - to manipulate data inside [Open Refine](http://openrefine.org/) (previously
Google Refine),
- - to show information on maps and
- - to show the results of species population modelling
-
-##Notification of interaction requests
-
-One of the advantages of running workflows on a server is that you do not need
to monitor them
- constantly.
-However, you then need a way to be alerted that a workflow requires an
interaction.
-The interaction service uses
[ATOM](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(standard)) feeds to send
- out notifications.
-ATOM feeds can be read by many different clients, including mobile phone Apps
and mail readers.

-###Inside another web page
+### Inside another web page
-It is common to use a web page to run workflows on a server.
-This could be, for example, within a
- [Taverna Player](/documentation/taverna-player),
- or a more complex portal such as the Taverna 2.4 Server Demonstrator.
-When a workflow is run, the page creates a subscription to the run&'s ATOM
feed.
-When a notification is sent on the feed, the page can then show the
interaction.
-An example of this is demonstrated in this video.
