All new workflows created from this template (known as "template instances") will receive updates made to the managed template to keep all related workflows aligned.
Workflow builder
The monday workflows builder uses blocks on a blank canvas to visually build out an automated process to support your entire workflow. monday workflows encompasses automations and integrations, but they are not limited to one board. Rather, they're built on the level of the workspace, spanning multiple boards. In this way, the workflows you build using monday workflows will seamlessly pull together every element of your work inside and outside of the monday.com platform to make your team more efficient.

Content Directory allows you to view and manage the contents of an account at a high level, which is crucial to ensuring that things remain organized and secure at all times.

Being fully flexible and customizable, the pivot board will enable a deeper level of reporting and data analysis from many different perspectives.
Advanced permissions
Account permissions allow Enterprise account admins to control and manage who can use certain account features. Admins can set up permissions for different user types, customize admin-level permissions, and create custom roles for employees.
Granular board permissions allow for the precise assignment of roles and permissions for board owners. This feature enables board owners to assign roles down to specific actions such as creating automations, adjusting forms, or adding groups.
Closed workspaces are private and accessible only to the person who created them. Team members can join by invite or by requesting to join.
Advanced security features
With this plan, you have access to the panic button. The panic button allows you to momentarily block your account in case your team's login credentials have been compromised. You will also get access to control the session timeout which allows you to control your team's sessions and no activity time-out.

IP restrictions
Admins of an Enterprise Plan have the ability to pre-define specific IP addresses which will be able to join the account. This can be extremely useful if you are looking to restrict account access to users joining from a specific location (i.e. from the office), those using a certain VPN, or more. To learn more about how IP restrictions work, check out this article.
Audit log
The audit log allows Admins to see when team members have last logged into the account, what device they used, and what their IP address for the session was. It allows the Admins to spot any suspicious activities and activate the panic button if needed.
SCIM provisioning
System for Cross-domain Identity Management (also known as SCIM) is a protocol for user management across multiple applications. It allows an IT or Operations team to easily provision (add), de-provision (deactivate), and update user data across multiple applications at once.
