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.

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. Overall, the general guidance is to mitigate the impact by migrating to Power Automate or other supported solutions. To understand if your organization is using SharePoint workflow or begin planning migration to Power Automate, we recommend that you run the SharePoint Modernization Scanner tool to scan your tenants for legacy workflows usage.
The Workflow Report generated by the scanner tool can tell you the following:. Power Automate upgradability score indicating how likely the detected actions can be upgraded to flows with Power Automate.
Using the Workflow Report, along with site information, tenant administrators can work with their users to migrate these workflows with minimal interruption. All Microsoft licenses include usage of the Power Platform for the purpose of customizing and extending Microsoft applications. This includes both Power Automate and Power Apps. Power Automate also has additional premium features that you can buy on top of your Microsoft licenses. Learn more about the specific features that are included with Microsoft licenses.
When Workflows is disabled on a tenant, both SharePoint sites and SharePoint Designer will limit operations when trying to create or interact with a workflow based on Workflows Below are some of the known issues users can encounter in a tenant where Workflows is disabled.

To help your team be more productive, there are several ways that you can manage and extend content in lists, libraries, and sites. Some features help your team to find and work more efficiently with information. Other features help you manage the access to the information. Navigation elements help people to browse through the content that they need.
Two navigation items that you can customize are the top link bar and the Quick Launch. By using the settings pages for each list or library, you can choose which lists and libraries appear on the Quick Launch. You can also change the order of links, add or delete links, and add or delete the sections into which the links are organized. For example, if you have too many lists in the List section, you can add a new section for Tasks Lists where you can include links to your tasks lists.
You can make all of these changes to the Quick Launch from within a browser that is compatible with SharePoint Server You can even add links to pages outside the site. The top link bar provides a way for users of your site to get to other sites in the site collection by displaying a row of tabs at the top of every page in the site. When you create a new site, you can choose whether to include the site on the top link bar of the parent site and whether to use the top link bar from the parent site.
If your site is using a unique top link bar, you can customize the links that appear on the top link bar for the site. Any sites that are created within the parent site can also be displayed on the top link bar, provided that the sites are configured to inherit the top link bar of the parent site. You can also include links to other sites outside of your site collection.
A site owner or administrator can grant permission levels to users and to SharePoint groups, which contain users.
The permissions can be applied to a site, the lists and libraries on a site, and the items in the lists and libraries. You can assign different permission levels for different objects, such as a specific site, list, library, folder within a list or library, list item, or document. How you organize your lists and libraries depends on the needs of your group and on how you prefer to store and search for your information. Some planning can help you to set up the structure that works best for your organization.
Information in lists and libraries is stored in columns, such as Title, Last Name, or Company. You can use columns to sort and filter items as you would in a spreadsheet by clicking the column headings in a list or library. You can also use views to see the items in a list or library that are most important to you.
In the list or library where you want to change the view, click the List or Library tab on the ribbon. In the Manage Views group, under Current View , click the arrow next to the views list, and then select a view. If you need to store additional information about list items or files in a library, you can add columns to help you sort, group, and create multiple views of your list. For example, you can sort a list by due date or group the items by department name.
You have several options for the type of column that you create, including a single line of text, a drop-down list of options, a number that is calculated from other columns, or even the name and picture of a person on your site.
In the list or library where you want to add the file, click the List or Library tab on the ribbon. You can also use the columns in a list or library to create views to help specific departments find the information that they are most interested in, such as tasks with the highest priority or all the items assigned to each person.
For information about creating and modifying views, see Create, change, or delete a view. Some features of lists can help your team to create and manage items efficiently across several lists or libraries. For example, you can create a column that provides information about list items and then share it across other lists. Or, if you want to make a file available in multiple libraries, you can easily copy it to other libraries on your site. You can be prompted for updates if the file has changed.
Sites are designed so that lists, libraries, and other features can be fully accessed by using only keystrokes. A More Accessible Mode enables users of accessible technologies to more easily interact with menus and various controls.
Skip to Main Content links enable keyboard users to skip over repetitive navigation links to the more meaningful content on a page. The markup of headings is designed to better define the structure and improve navigation for people who use screen readers.
Images that are uploaded to the site allow for custom alternative text to be defined. For example, you can assign custom alternative text to the image that appears on the home page in the Site Image Web Part or to a picture that you add to a picture library. For viewing sites, the high contrast options in Windows work well for users with low vision.
Your list or library may be set up to track versions, so that you can restore a previous version if you make a mistake and view a version history of the changes.
When versions are tracked, revisions to the items or files and their properties are stored. This enables you to better manage content as it is revised and even to restore a previous version if you make a mistake in the current version.
Versioning is especially helpful when several people work together on projects or when information goes through several stages of development and review.
Versioning is available for list items in all default list types — including calendars, issue-tracking lists, and custom lists — and for all file types that can be stored in libraries, including Web Part pages.
Two or more users can edit a Word document or PowerPoint presentation at the same time. This new feature enables you to read and write portions of a file stored in SharePoint.
For example, you can work on one paragraph in a Word document while a colleague works on another paragraph in the same document and at the same time.
RSS provides a convenient way for you to distribute and receive information in a standardized format, including updates to lists and libraries. A standardized XML file format allows the information to be viewed by many different programs. You can also subscribe to lists and libraries by setting alerts, so that you know when content has changed.
A team can use their feeds as a way to customize their content for team members who subscribe to their feeds and to offer links back to their Web sites. RSS Feeds are an easy way to keep track of team progress and project updates. Instead of browsing multiple team Web sites, you receive the latest news or updates from those sites automatically. Workflows help people to collaborate on documents and manage project tasks by implementing specific business processes on documents and items in a site.
Workflows help organizations to adhere to consistent business processes. Workflows can also improve organizational efficiency and productivity by managing the tasks and steps that are involved in specific business processes. This enables the people who perform these tasks to concentrate on performing the work rather than managing the workflow.
Workflows can streamline the cost and time required to coordinate common business processes, such as project approval or document review, by managing and tracking the human tasks involved with these processes.
For example, an organization can use a predefined Approval workflow or create and deploy a custom workflow to manage another business process. Your list or library may support multiple content types. Content types enable organizations to organize, manage, and handle large amounts of content more effectively. If your list or library is set up to allow multiple content types, you can add content types from a list of available options that your organization uses frequently, such as Marketing Presentations or Contracts.
After you add a content type to a list or library, you make it possible for that list or library to contain items of that type. Users can then use the New Item button in that list or library to create new items of that type. One of the key advantages of content types for lists and libraries is that they make it possible for a single list or library to contain multiple item types or document types, each of which may have unique metadata, policies, or behaviors.
