The Variations tool uses the workflows defined for the Change Events tool. See Change Events - Workflow Diagrams.

Variation Tiers

The steps that you use to create a variation depend on the variation tier setting configured on the Procore project tool used to create the original contract. To learn more, see What are the different variation tier settings in Project Financials?
