You won't lose any content during the transition. However, all migration of workflows is a manual process. In the context of SharePoint, a workflow is the automated movement of documents or items through a sequence of actions or tasks that are related to a business process.
An organization can use workflows to attach business logic to documents or items in a SharePoint list or library. While both workflow systems allow you to build and publish workflows in SharePoint, below are some of the key differences:.
SharePoint workflows, released along with SharePoint Server , are hosted, and executed in the SharePoint workflow runtime. SharePoint workflows, released along with SharePoint Server , are hosted in SharePoint, and executed in the Workflow Manager, which runs independently. Most people use SharePoint Designer to author and publish workflows in SharePoint while professional developers looking to extend and build workflows use Visual Studio to build and publish workflows in SharePoint.
Starting August 1st, , SharePoint workflows will be turned off for any newly created tenants. Starting November 1st , SharePoint workflow services will be removed from existing tenants so that no new or existing workflows will run.
Approvals : This workflow routes a document or an item to a group of people for approval. Collect feedback : This workflow routes a document or an item to a group of people for feedback. Reviewers can provide feedback, which is then compiled and sent to the person who initiated the workflow. Collect signatures : This workflow routes a Microsoft Office document to a group of people to collect their digital signatures.
Classic pages publishing approval : This workflow is like the Approvals workflow in that it automates the routing of draft pages to subject matter experts and stakeholders for review and approval. Three-state : This workflow helps organizations manage business processes that track a high volume of issues or items--such as customer support issues, sales leads, or project tasks--through three states statuses.
Disposition approval : This workflow manages document expiration and retention by allowing participants to decide whether to retain or delete expired documents. This retirement doesn't apply to SharePoint workflows. SharePoint workflows will remain supported, but will be retired at some point in the future; we recommend that you migrate to Power Automate or other supported solutions, such as those from Preferred members of our Microsoft Business Apps Partner Program.
In the near future, SharePoint workflows will be turned off by default for new tenants. The previous turn-off date of November 1, has been postponed and a new date has yet to be determined. We will provide a PowerShell script to let you activate the SharePoint based workflow engine for new environments, as needed.
SharePoint and SharePoint based workflows will continue to be supported with no modification in our previous support posture and continue to be supported for on-premises SharePoint and SharePoint platforms until SharePoint workflow creation and execution against SharePoint Online from SharePoint Designer will be turned off for any newly created tenants starting August and existing tenants starting November Existing workflows can only be viewed as raw XML files.
SharePoint Designer will work with SharePoint Server for the remainder of the client support lifecycle SharePoint Designer will not be supported beyond that timeframe. EMBED for wordpress. Want more?

For example, a site administrator can make a workflow available for use in a document library, a content creator can start a workflow or modify a workflow in progress, and a third person for example, a document reviewer or an approver can complete the workflow task.
Before a workflow can be used, it must be added to a list, library, or content type to make it available for documents or items in a specific location. You must have the Manage Lists permission to add a workflow to a list, library, or content type.
In most cases, the site administrators or individuals who manage specific lists or libraries perform this task. If you add a workflow directly to a list or library, it is available only for items in that list or library. If you add a workflow to a list content type an instance of a site content type that was added to a specific list or library , it is available only for items of that content type in the specific list or library with which that content type is associated. If you add a workflow to a site content type, that workflow is available for any items of that content type in every list and library to which an instance of that site content type was added.
If you want a workflow to be widely available across lists or libraries in a site, you can create a site workflow. When you add a workflow to a list, library, or content type, you can customize the workflow for its specific location by specifying various options:. Additional options that are specific to the individual workflow, for example, how tasks are routed to participants, what circumstances complete the workflow, and what actions occur after the workflow is completed.
When you add a workflow to a list, library, or content type, you make it available for documents or items in a specific location; you do not start the actual workflow. After a workflow is added to a list, library, or content type and thereby made available for use, you can start this workflow on a document or item if the workflow is configured to allow it to be started manually.
To start a workflow, you select the workflow that you want from the list of workflows available for the document or item.
If necessary, you may also need to fill out a form with the information that the workflow requires. Depending on how the workflow was designed and configured, you might have the option to further customize the workflow when you start it on a document or item by customizing such options as participants, due date, and task instructions.
After a workflow is started on an item, you may need to make changes to how the workflow behaves. For example, after a workflow starts, the person who started the workflow might need to add additional participants.
Or a workflow participant might need to reassign his or her task to another person or request a change to the document or item that is the focus of the workflow. You can modify some of the built-in workflows while the workflow is in progress. If your organization has developed and deployed custom workflows, it is possible that changes to workflows in progress are allowed.
Any workflow event that requires human interaction is represented by a workflow task. When a workflow assigns a task to a workflow participant, the task recipient can either complete that task or request changes to the workflow itself by editing the workflow task form. Workflow participants can complete workflow tasks on the SharePoint site or directly within an Office program. When a workflow participant completes a workflow task or requests a change to the workflow, the workflow moves to the next relevant step.
Workflow owners and participants can follow the progress of a workflow by checking the status page that is associated with the workflow. The status page includes status information about outstanding workflow tasks. It also includes history information that is relevant to the workflow. Reporting tools can provide an aggregate analysis of workflow history. Organizations can use this analysis to locate bottlenecks in processes or to determine whether a group is meeting the performance targets for a given business process.
Several predefined Microsoft Office Excel reports can be used with any workflow. Additionally, workflow history information is available as a SharePoint list data source that can be used and analyzed in other programs or custom business process monitoring solutions.
