# Navigate to a Process Instance

| ⚙ How do I get there \| Menu Hierarchy |
| -------------------------------------- |
| Follow steps to [Find a Process Instance](../spiffsparkles/find_a_process_instance.md) |

If you can't find the desired task or process you wish to view in the parent or primary process, it's likely that you need to access a sub-process or call activity.

## Inside a Sub-Process

> **Step 1: Locate the Current Active Sub-task**

You might be interested in a process instance that you've specifically searched for, or one that is currently assigned to you. However, when you attempt to view the instance, it might be in a waiting state, denoted by a sub-process highlighted in yellow.

> **Step 2: Select the Link**

- Select the blue arrow located at the bottom right of the highlighted activity, which is indicated in yellow.

## Inside a Call Activity

> **Step 2: Select the Activity**
