Microsoft has announced the retirement of 2010 SharePoint Workflows as of the 1st of November 2020. As part of the constant evolution of their world-leading 365 services. Microsoft has concluded that their replacing these legacy workflows with modern workflow solutions will better serve their customers. Whilst SharePoint 2010 Workflows have been removed from all new tenants, they have yet to be retired from existing tenants, a measure which will come into effect on the 1st of November 2020. After this point, Microsoft 365 customers will be able to use SharePoint 2013 or Power Automate instead.

However, Microsoft are expecting SharePoint 2013 workflows to follow a similar path in the future, and as such it is highly recommended that organisations migrate to Power Automate to save themselves time and energy in the near future. Organisations the world over depend on SharePoint for their essential processes, many of which are built upon Legacy Workflows.
