docs/data/reusables/code-scanning/edit-workflow.md

Typically, you don't need to edit the default workflow for {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %}. However, if required, you can edit the workflow to customize some of the settings. For example, you can edit {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}'s {% data variables.code-scanning.codeql_workflow %} to specify the frequency of scans, the languages or directories to scan, and what {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} looks for in your code. You might also need to edit the {% data variables.code-scanning.codeql_workflow %} if you use a specific set of commands to compile your code.
