Would you like to refactor workflows?

  • Article

One of the things I am working on now is the next release of the workflow designer.  One thing I have heard a number of requests for over the years is the ability to refactor workflows.  I'd love to get some feedback if this would be valuable (I'm pretty convinced it is), and if it is valuable, what kind of things would you like to be able to do?  One I have heard before is the selection of some subset of activities in a workflow and select "refactor to new activity" which would pull that out to a new custom activity.

What other things make sense?  Please reply in comments, a blog post that pingbacks, or send me email at mwinkle_AtSign_Microsoft_dot_com.
