We can group and package extensions to Tridion Sites by creating an Add-on, which is a ZIP file containing configuration and related code.

I can see the documentation for the extension types, in this case for Sites 9.1. Workflow Process Definitions and related (C#) code aren't in the list.

To be sure, is it possible to deploy a Workflow Process Definition and/or related code as an Add-on?

I think the current approach for workflow would be to:

  1. Create and upload the Workflow Process Definition via the Content Manager Explorer
  2. Set related Workflow code in the automated activities or decisions as "external" and separately use TCMUPload to load related C# dlls to the Content Manager.
  3. Optionally automate dll deployment to DEV through your build configuration/setup in your IDE (e.g. Visual Studio).

In short, I think Process Definitions are managed in the Content Manager Explorer Workflow screen while workflow code is uploaded with the TCMUpload script. Is this the current practice and am I missing anything?

    1. You mean upload Workflow "Process" Definition? The steps you describe seem correct to me - in the same way there's no add-on extension type for TBBs.

  • Oops, yes that was a typo. Fixed. Feel free to answer the same as your comment, noting that Workflow code works like TBBs, and I'll accept!
