Hi Mike,
Whatever you have given the link is taking me through the workflow process and working functionality.
Now i'm cleared with simple workflow and advanced workflow.
But i'm getting the little bit confusion in Advanced workflow. Because there are two types of Advanced workflows are there
in the labs 3.0 stable version "Adhoc Task (Assign task to colleague)" and "Review & Approve (Review & approval of content)". I didn't find any difference while passing the parameters for both the workflows(Advanced).
i want the difference between these two workflows.

thanks for your support MIKE.

The easiest thing to do in these cases is to look at the workflow definitions.

You can see that "Review and Approve" contains a couple of states - it's designed to be assigned to someone and then the "approve" or "reject" transition returns it to the initiator.

The "Adhoc Task" contains just one transition: "completed", which optionally sends an email to the initiator.

Thanks,
Mike
