Add Reusable Workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013

The way we  create reusable workflow in SharePoint Designer (SPD) 2013 is a bit different from 2010 and as a result most people thought that Microsoft disabled this feature. The fact is this feature is still available but the way you navigate to creating  a reusable workflow in SPD 2013 is a bit different from SPD 2010. This is how you create a reusable workflow in SPD 2013 :

  1. Open the site in SPD 2013.
  2. Now instead of using the ribbon, which is what we used to do in SPD 2010, click File menu as seen in screenshot below
  3. This will take you to this page where you can create a reusable workflow by clicking the “Reusable Workflow” icon as seen below:
