After you créate your site from the template , you must export/import and publish your workflow on the new site

You cannot copy workflows just by creating a template.  This is due to the GUIDs that are used to associate workflows with list.

If you create a new site, simply export your workflow from your old list, and import it to the new list.  Fernando was correct on that one.

Greetings.

I have a follow-up question on this.  When you create the new workflow in the new site, does it matter if it has the same name as the workflow in the old site?

We create new sites for each customer from a site template.  We recreate the workflows as described above - but do they have to have different names in the different sites?

Thank you!

Yes, Fernando is correct. You have to export then import the workflow. Workflows do not get saved with templates although I truly wished they did.
