## Check yourself

- When does an Integration Procedure belong behind a Flexcard?
- Which layer contains the Salesforce CLI, and what is it for?
- How do you change a standard Omniscript that ships with your Industries license on the Standard Runtime?
- Why is a frequently repeated process with fixed steps a better first Omnistudio project than a free-form one?
