# Plan Workflows and Tuning (/docs/verdent-cloud/configure-and-extend/plan-workflows)

> Tune planning, execution, and validation expectations for Cloud tasks.



Plan workflows help you decide how much structure Verdent should use before editing. Use more planning for high-risk work and less planning for small UI or copy changes.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose when to plan">
    Use planning for refactors, publish fixes, cross-file changes, or unclear requirements.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set validation expectations">
    Tell Verdent what to run or inspect before it reports completion.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Iterate on the plan">
    Ask for changes to scope, order, or validation before implementation starts.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Cost-aware workflows [#cost-aware-workflows]

Verdent Cloud shares the same credits and billing system as Verdent Deck. For routine work, use Eco Mode when available to keep working without spending credits, and reserve higher-cost model choices for complex reasoning or production-critical changes.
