1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed on a processor, cause the processor to:
- interact with a graphical model in a graphical modeling environment, the graphical model representing a process or a system, where;
the graphical model comprises a plurality of components, andthe plurality of components includes a first component and a second component;
display a step of a workflow, the step associated with the first component of the graphical model;
receive an instruction, the received instruction identifying the step of the workflow;
execute the step of the workflow based on the received instruction;
synchronize the graphical modeling environment with the executing the step of the workflow, the synchronizing comprising;
reconfiguring the graphical modeling environment to synchronously display;
the first component with the executing of the step of the workflow, andthe second component with the executing of the step of the workflow;
indicate, based on the synchronously displaying, that the first component is associated with the executing the step of the workflow; and
indicate, based on the synchronously displaying, that the second component is not associated with the executing the step of the workflow.

Abstract
A system may identify a workflow associated with a graphical model and execute the workflow in a number of stages. The system may display a number of components of the graphical model and identify which of the displayed components are associated with or affected by execution of a current one of the stages of the workflow.
