To cancel an accidentally triggered workflow in AEM (CQ5), you can follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Workflow Console: Navigate to the AEM workflow console (usually /admin/workflow).
  2. Find the Workflow: Look for the specific workflow instance that was triggered (you can filter by process or user if needed).
  3. Stop or Abort the Workflow: Select the workflow instance and use the "Abort" or "Cancel" option to terminate the process.

If the workflow has already completed, you may need to reverse any changes it made manually or using a rollback process, if available.
