Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

We are just now starting the path down SharePoint Online. We have a couple of workflows that need to be setup for approval. I am trying to find a concise documentation which compares Flow vs Workflow. Do you all have any pointers?

Thanks,

Hi CMPadaki,

Microsoft Flow is a product to help you set up automated workflows between your favorite apps and services to synchronize files, get notifications, collect data, and more. More details about Microsoft Flow please check this document:
https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/getting-started/

When you add a workflow to a SharePoint library or list, you enforce a business process on all items in the library or list. A workflow describes the actions that the system or users must perform on each item, such as sending the item to be edited and then reviewed. These actions, known as activities, are the building blocks of the workflow. Please check this document for more details:
