Move workflow into production environment


Follow the below steps to move workflow into production environment site,

1.       In the Development environment open the SharePoint Designer and export the workflow you want using “Export to Visio”.

2.       Rename the vwi files by adding ".zip" extension, now open the zip file and remove the "workflow.xoml.wfconfig.xml" because it contains the details about the associated list, once you remove the file from the zip folder, the association between the workflow and the list will be removed and the workflow can be associted with any other list.

3.       After removing the "workflow.xoml.wfconfig.xml" file from the zip folder, then again Rename the zip folder by adding ".vwi" extension.

4.       Open SharePoint designer in the production environment and open the site.

5.       Now Click on Workflows.

6.       Click the “Import from Visio” option from the ribbon and select the altered ".vwi" extension file.

7.       System will open the imported Workflow.
Click on Save and then Publish
