SharePoint 2010 workflows

SharePoint 2010 offers many new improvements for workflow developers and builds on the popularity of workflow in SharePoint 2007.

Very interesting feature is Reusable Workflows using SharePoint designer.
We can create workflows as we have created in 2007 version using designer but in 2007we can create workflows for specific list and we can't use this workflow for any other list.

Unlike 2007 in 2010 version we can create workflows for all lists that is workflow will be deployed into worklfows gallery so that we can associate these workflows to any list and we can reuse this workflow by saving as template that is .wsp file and so that we can use this in anywhere means any other site collections or web application as we were doing using VS workflow designer.

And another cool feature in VS2010 is we can import this .wsp file and we can extend these workflows.

Another new feature is site workflow unlike 2007 version we can create workflows and apply the workflow to entire site. In 2007 there were no option to associate workflows to site.
