+#### Modular Workflows
+
+The `magellan` CLI commands can be ran in a single command or broken up to run different parts of the workflow without needing to write to the filesystem. 
+
+For example, the `scan`, `collect`, and `send` can be done in a single command.
+
+```bash
+# scan -> collect -> send
+magellan scan --subnet 172.18.0.0/24 --port 5000 -l info -i -F json | magellan collect -f json --show-output -i | magellan send https://smd.example.com
+```
+
+Alternatively, we can run `scan -> collect` and `collect -> send` parts separately if we're only interested in performing one part of the process.
+
+```bash
+# scan -> collect
+magellan scan --subnet 172.18.0.0/24 --port 5000 -l info -i -F json | magellan collect -f json --show-output -i
+
+# collect -> send
+magellan collect pdu x3000m0 x3000m1 -u admin -p initial0 | magellan send https://smd.example.com
+```
+
+> [!NOTE] See `magellan-send(1)` and `magellan-collect(1)` documentation for more info and examples.
+
 ### PDU Inventory Collection
 
 In addition to collecting Redfish inventory from BMCs, `magellan` can also collect inventory from Power Distribution Units (PDUs) that expose a JAWS-style API. The `collect` command has a `pdu` subcommand for this purpose.
