+# Parallel
+
+## Overview
+
+**Parallel** is multi-path branching operator. You can create multiple execution branches with optional filtering rule and Pipedream will execute **all** matching branches. Unlike `Switch` and `If/Else`, the order in which rules are defined will not affect the path of execution.
+
+![Switch Configuration](./images/switch/switch-configuration.png)
+
+## Capabilities
+
+- Create non-linear workflows that execute steps in parallel
+- Define multiple branches with optional filters (every branch runs by default)
+- Merge and continue execution in the parent flow after the branching operation
+
+<Callout type="info">
+The Parallel operator is a control flow **Block** with **start** and **end** phases. [Learn more about Blocks](./#blocks).
+</Callout>
+
+## Getting Started
+
+<Steps>
+
+### Generate a test event
+
+Add a trigger and generate an event to help you build and test your workflow:
+
+![trigger.gif](./images/switch/trigger.gif)
+
+### Add the Switch control flow block
+
+Click the + button to add a step to the canvas and select Switch from the Control Flow section on the right. In the “start” phase, configure rules for a case.

+
+<Callout type="info">
+**IMPORTANT:** If you disable the **Default** condition and an event does not match any of the rules, the workflow will continue to the next step after the **Switch** section. If you want to end workflow execution if no other conditions evaluate to `true`, enable the Default condition and add a **Terminate Workflow** action.
+</Callout>
+
+### Optionally add additional cases
+
+To add additional cases, click the **+** button.

+
+### Test and build along the execution path
+
+Test the **start** phase and add a step to the branch in the execution path,

+
+### Optionally merge and continue the parent flow
+
+Test the **end** phase to export the results of the last step in the execution path. This makes them available to reference in the parent flow.

+
+### Scaffold alternate paths
+
+You may add steps to alternate paths and test them. Pipedream will signal that the results may not be reliable if the branch is not in the execution path.
+

+
+### Validate alternate paths
+
+Generate or select alternate events to trigger and validate alternate paths.

+
+### Deploy and test the live workflow
+
+Deploy the workflow and trigger it to inspect the executions.
