Publishing workflows
You can publish workflows to make them available to users of the related list, library, or site.
To publish the current workflow
- Click Publish in the ribbon.
The Set Title & Description dialog box appears with the workflow's previously selected values or with default values.
- (Subscription licensing only.) Confirm that the desired workflow publish type is selected: development workflow or production workflow.
For more information about assigned use, see Assign use when publishing workflows.
- Update settings as needed and then click Publish to save changes and close the dialog box.
The application saves the workflow, validates the workflow, and then publishes the workflow, displaying a message confirming that the workflow has been published. If errors occur during validation, such as unconfigured actions, then the workflow does not publish and an error message appears. Once the workflow is published it can be managed from the Managing Workflows page.
