+        **Input**
+
+        Existing CellProfiler pipeline file *(.cppipe)* or generated by linking CellProfiler tools.
+
+        .. class:: infomark

+        **IMPORTANT**
+
+        The first tool in a CellProfiler workflow has to be **Starting modules** and the last one **CellProfiler**. You can also execute the entire pipeline with the final CellProfiler tool, in which you feed in the images you want to process as well.
