If you have a Web Farm setup, you must share the same `WebForms` folder for all servers. (For information on using a Web Farm setup with WorkflowGen, see the [Web Farm architecture](https://docs.advantys.com/workflowgen-technical-reference-guide/advanced-configuration#web-farm-architecture) section in the [WorkflowGen Technical Guide](https://docs.advantys.com/workflowgen-technical-reference-guide/) To do this:

1. Share your `WebForms` folder. This can be either your primary WorkflowGen site’s local `WebForms` folder, or a `WebForms` folder on a network file server.

2. If you are using a network file server and you have content in your primary WorkflowGen site’s local `WebForms` folder, we suggest copying the content of this folder to the shared `WebForms` folder.

3. Once you have shared the folder, copy the UNC path.

4. Do the following **for each instance** of WorkflowGen:

5. Ensure that the required permissions (modify, read and execute, list folder contents, read, write) are correctly applied to the shared `WebForms` folder for the IIS application pool used by the `WebForms` application.
