+# Golden Path Workflows Guide
+
+This guide provides detailed step-by-step workflows for getting the most out of the Content Processing Solution Accelerator. These "golden path" workflows represent the most common and effective use cases for the solution.
+
+## Overview
+
+The golden path workflows are designed to:
+- Demonstrate the full capabilities of the solution
+- Provide a structured learning experience
+- Showcase best practices for document processing
+- Help users understand the confidence scoring and validation features
+
+## Workflow 1: Invoice Processing Golden Path
+
+### 📋 Prerequisites
+- Solution deployed and validated successfully
+- Sample schemas registered (Invoice schema)
+- Authentication configured
+
+### 🚀 Step-by-Step Process
+
+1. **Access the Web Interface**
+   - Navigate to your deployed web app URL
+   - Log in using your configured authentication
+
+2. **Select Invoice Schema**
+   - In the Processing Queue pane, select "Invoice" from the schema dropdown
+   - Verify the schema shows as available
+
+3. **Upload Sample Invoice**
+   - Click "Import Content" button
+   - Select an invoice file from the sample data (PDF, PNG, or JPEG)
+   - Click "Upload" to submit
+
+4. **Monitor Processing**
+   - Watch the file status change from "Uploaded" → "Processing" → "Completed"
+   - This typically takes 1-2 minutes
+
+5. **Review Extracted Data**
+   - Click on the completed file to open the review interface
+   - Examine the extracted data in the "Extracted Results" tab
+   - Compare with the source document in the "Source Document" pane
+
+6. **Validate and Modify Results**
+   - Edit any incorrect data in the JSON output
+   - Add notes in the "Comments" section
+   - Pay attention to confidence scores for each field
+
+7. **Save and Approve**
+   - Click "Save" to store your modifications
+   - Review the process steps in the "Process Steps" tab
+
+### 🎯 Expected Outcomes
+- ✅ Invoice data accurately extracted (vendor, amounts, dates, line items)
+- ✅ Confidence scores above 80% for most fields
+- ✅ Any low-confidence fields flagged for manual review
+- ✅ Process steps show successful extraction, mapping, and evaluation
+
+## Workflow 2: Property Claims Golden Path
+
+### 📋 Prerequisites
+- Invoice workflow completed successfully
+- Property Loss Damage Claim Form schema registered
+
+### 🚀 Step-by-Step Process
+
+1. **Switch to Property Claims Schema**
+   - Select "Property Loss Damage Claim Form" from the schema dropdown
+
+2. **Upload Property Damage Document**
+   - Import a property claim form from the sample data
+   - Monitor the processing workflow
+
+3. **Validate Complex Extraction**
+   - Review extracted claim details, damages, and policy information
+   - Note how the system handles form fields vs. free text
+
+4. **Test Validation Features**
+   - Modify extracted data to test validation rules
+   - Add detailed comments about damage assessments
+
+5. **Process Multiple Documents**
+   - Upload additional property claim documents
+   - Compare extraction accuracy across different document formats
+
+### 🎯 Expected Outcomes
+- ✅ Complex form data accurately extracted
+- ✅ Multi-modal content (text, images, tables) processed correctly
+- ✅ Validation rules applied appropriately
+
+## Workflow 3: Custom Document Processing Golden Path
+
+### 📋 Prerequisites
+- Basic workflows completed
+- Understanding of your specific document types
+
+### 🚀 Step-by-Step Process
+
+1. **Create Custom Schema**
+   - Follow the [Custom Schema Guide](./CustomizeSchemaData.md)
+   - Define your document structure and required fields
+
+2. **Register Your Schema**
+   - Use the schema registration scripts
+   - Validate schema is available in the web interface
+
+3. **Test with Sample Documents**
+   - Start with 2-3 representative documents
+   - Process and review initial results
+
+4. **Refine Extraction Quality**
+   - Analyze confidence scores and accuracy
+   - Modify schema definitions if needed
+   - Re-test with updated schema
+
+5. **Scale to Production**
+   - Process larger document batches
+   - Establish quality thresholds
+   - Set up automated workflows using the API
+
+### 🎯 Expected Outcomes
+- ✅ Custom schema accurately processes your document types
+- ✅ Confidence scoring helps identify manual review needs
+- ✅ Workflow scales to handle production volumes
+
+## Advanced Workflows
+
+### Multi-Schema Processing
+- Process different document types in the same session
+- Compare extraction approaches across schemas
+- Understand when to use different processing strategies
+
+### API Integration Golden Path
+- Use programmatic APIs for document submission
+- Implement webhook callbacks for processing notifications
+- Build custom validation and approval workflows
+
+### Batch Processing Workflow
+- Upload multiple documents simultaneously
+- Monitor batch processing status
+- Export results for downstream systems
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Quality Assurance
+- Always review low-confidence extractions manually
+- Use comments to document validation decisions
+- Track accuracy improvements over time
+
+### Confidence Score Interpretation
+- **90-100%**: High confidence, likely accurate
+- **70-89%**: Medium confidence, review recommended
+- **Below 70%**: Low confidence, manual review required
+
+### Performance Optimization
+- Use consistent document formats when possible
+- Ensure good image quality for scanned documents
+- Batch similar document types for better consistency
+
+## Troubleshooting Common Issues
+
+### Low Extraction Accuracy
+- Check document quality and formatting
+- Verify schema matches document structure
+- Review and update system prompts if needed
+
+### Processing Timeouts
+- Reduce document file sizes
+- Check Azure quota availability
+- Monitor system logs for errors
+
+### Authentication Issues
+- Verify app registration configuration
+- Check user permissions and role assignments
+- Review authentication provider settings
+
