After you associate (add) a workflow to a list, library, content type, or site, you can modify its configuration settings at any time. Configuration settings include the name of the workflow association, the start options, the participants, the task notification messages, the choice of lists to use for tracking workflow history and tasks (default or new), and completion options.

Before you begin
When you add a workflow association, you assign a task list to use with the selected workflow. You can use the default task list, select another existing task list, or create a new one. If you use the default task list, workflow participants can find and view their workflow tasks easily by using the My Tasks view of the Tasks list.

| If the tasks for this workflow might reveal sensitive or confidential data that you want to keep separate from the default tasks list, you should create a new task list. |
Modify a workflow associated with a list or library
Use the following steps to modify the configuration settings for a workflow that is associated with a list or document library. Changes to configuration settings are only applied to workflow instances that start after the workflow association is modified.
To modify a workflow associated with a list or library
Verify that you have the following administrative credentials:
- You must be a member of the Site Owners group on the list or library that you are configuring.
Browse to the list or document library where the workflow is located.
Do one of the following:
For a list, on the ListTools tab, click List.
In the Settings group, click List Settings.
For a library, on the LibraryTools tab, click Library.
In the Settings group, click Library Settings.
On the List Settings or Library Settings page, in the Permissions and Management section, click Workflow Settings.
On the Workflow Settings page, in the Workflows section, click the name of the workflow that you want to change.
In the Name section, you can optionally type a new name for the workflow.
This name will be used to identify the workflow to site users.
In the Task List section, specify a task list to use with this workflow.
In the History List section, select a history list to use with this workflow.
The history list displays all events that occur during each instance of the workflow.
Observação
You can use the default history list or create a new one. When SharePoint lists grow in size, site performance may be impacted. If an organization will have many workflows, consider creating a separate history list for each workflow association to avoid potential performance problems.
In the Start Options section, specify how (automatically or manually), when (item update, creation, or both), or by whom a workflow can be started.
Note that the available start options are determined by the workflow template and differ from one workflow to another.
Observação
By default, users who have Edit Item permissions can start a workflow. If you specify that Require Manage List permissions are needed to start the workflow, only users who have Manage List or Web Designer permissions can start an instance of the workflow. Most workflows do not require this restriction. However, you can use this setting for workflows that include tasks, such as deleting documents, which only certain people should be able to perform.
Click Next to customize settings that are specific to workflows, as necessary.
After you have configured settings that are specific to workflows, click OK or Save (depending on the workflow) to apply changes to the workflow association.
Modify a workflow associated with a list or library content type
Use this procedure to modify a workflow association with a list or library content type.

For a library, on the LibraryTools tab, click Library.
In the Settings group, click Library Settings.
In the Content Types section, in the Content Type column, click the name of the content type to which the workflow that you want to modify is associated.
