Beginning in version 3.1, workflows may be initiated by searches, allowing for a workflow to pickup processes from another workflow. Use this feature to have documents flow through a series of workflows, rather than having a single monolithic workflow canvas. Either approach to workflow design is and will remain fully supported, but the ability to compartmentalize workflow tasks allows for greater reuse, more creative packaged solutions, and the ability to add or change workflow steps with less risk of impacting other steps in the flow.
Any workflow can pickup from any other workflow. When a process is moved between workflows, the process' entire history will move with it. In the example below, notice a document is picked up and ends. The process is then picked up by another workflow using a Search as the initiator.
