### Description
A few sentences describing the changes proposed in this pull request.

### Status
**Ready/Work in progress/Hold**

### Please ensure all the checkboxes:
<!--- Put an `x` in all the boxes that apply, and remove the not
applicable items -->
- [x] Codeformat tests passed locally by running `./runtests.sh
--codeformat`.
- [ ] In-line docstrings updated.
- [ ] Update `version` and `changelog` in `metadata.json` if changing an
existing bundle.
- [ ] Please ensure the naming rules in config files meet our
requirements (please refer to: `CONTRIBUTING.md`).
- [ ] Ensure versions of packages such as `monai`, `pytorch` and `numpy`
are correct in `metadata.json`.
- [ ] Descriptions should be consistent with the content, such as
`eval_metrics` of the provided weights and TorchScript modules.
- [ ] Files larger than 25MB are excluded and replaced by providing
download links in `large_file.yml`.
- [ ] Avoid using path that contains personal information within config
files (such as use `/home/your_name/` for `"bundle_root"`).

+### MLFlow support
+
+MLflow can be enabled to track and manage your machine learning experiments. To enable MLflow, set the `use_mlflow` parameter to `True`. Below is an example of how to run a single-GPU training command with MLflow enabled:
+
+```bash
+python -m monai.bundle run \
+	--config_file="['configs/train.json','configs/train_continual.json']" --epochs=320 --learning_rate=0.00005 --use_mlflow True
+```
+
+By default, the data of MLflow is stored in the `mlruns/` folder under the bundle's root directory. To launch the MLflow UI and track your experiment data, follow these steps:
+
+1. Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of your bundle where the `mlruns/` folder is located.
+
+2. Execute the following command to start the MLflow server. This will make the MLflow UI accessible.
+
+```Bash
+mlflow ui
+```
 
 ## Evaluation
 Evaluation can be used to calculate dice scores for the model or a finetuned model. Change the `ckpt_path` to the checkpoint you wish to evaluate. The dice score is calculated on the original image spacing using `invertd`, while the dice score during finetuning is calculated on resampled space.
