If you’ve never used the workflows on your site, you need to activate some features first – before all the types are available for use (if not, only the Three-state workflow will be available):

Go to your Site Settings, Under Site Collection Admin “Go to Top Level Site Settings”, then go to Site Collection Features. You’ll see that the Three-state Workflows are activated, but you need to activate “Workflows” for the rest to be available:

After you’ve activated “Workflows”, the following will be available to use on your content type:

Tomorrow we’ll configure a workflow on our Content Type.

Overview of my challenge: As an absolute lover of all things Microsoft, I’ve decided to undertake the challenge, of writing a blog every single day, for the next 365 days. Crazy, I know. And I’ll try my best, but if I cannot find something good to say about Office 365 and the Tools it includes for 365 days, I’m changing my profession. So let’s write this epic tale of “Around the Office in 365 Days”. My ode to Microsoft Office 365.

Keep in mind that these tips and tricks do not only apply to Office 365 – but where applicable, to the overall Microsoft Office Suite and SharePoint.</strong
