Exporting SharePoint 2013 Reusable Workflows as Template Bug

If you follow MS instructions to save workflow as template. The template file will also include all associations.  Although, it is reusable workflow and it should be movable to any other environment. Here is the quick workaround I found.


  • Select the Reusable Workflow you want to export
  • Click on Copy&Modify
  • This will create the copy of your workflow
  • Give it a name
  • Publish it
  • Save as a template
  • You should have a Valid clean workflow in your site assets library. 
  • Enjoy!
