In SPD if I wanted to see all of the details I have to click into each one and do a print screen which isn't very efficient. Once we figured out how to get the export and view it in Visio all it displays is a vague description of each step. Is that all this function does? Give you a skeleton of your workflow? If you know of a way for me to see all the details of my workflow without having to open each step in SPD I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks. Hi,

The problem is that SPD10 no longer can function outside of #SharePoint, and it can't work with with older versions of #SharePoint, so anything I mention about SDP10 is by default a reference to #SP2010. As for your last comment, it's not just that it will save people lots of time in SPD, but rather it will empower our business analysts - SharePoint-knolwedgeable or not - to actually BUILD workflows around their business processes that are directly usable in SharePoint (with a few steps, of course, but they aren't a problem). The ramifications this has are huge, though I realize things like Nintex and K2 BlackPearl do this at an even higher level, but we now have much better options than we did before without having to purchase 3rd party. For many of my clients, including my current big one, that will be a huge boon.

I know we're OK to talk about Office 2010 client applications but server-stuff is still hush hush. It's really great to have SharePoint experts like yourself chime in on this subject, so thanks for commenting! From my limited knowledge of SharePoint Designer, it looks like "having all the pieces...in the right order" from the Visio diagram will save people lots and lots of clicking in SPD. Hi CC,

It renders in SPD without the start/end pieces and shows the logic that you designed in Visio with placeholders for the missing data just like when you create an SPD workflow from scratch except that all the pieces are in the right order and didn't require an SPD person to build it. From here, the SPD person fills out the data elements as needed and publishes it to SharePoint, which is where I can't give more details.

You'll see an item called "My Stuff". This isn't a new feature in Visio 2010, it is the result of my messing around, trying to customize the ribbon. I know some of you were full of excitement about the new "My Stuff" feature--sorry to dash your hopes. :) A note about the “My Stuff” tab on the Ribbon in the screen shots…
