I was looking at my hosted SharePoint WSS solution and realized there was no Feedback, Approval or Disposition workflow. When I contacted support, they said Three-State was the only one available out of the box. That didn’t sound right, so I hit Twitter. Here’s the response thread.

@ESUP
I’m on a support call with SharePointHosting.com. They say the only default workflow in WSS is 3 State. True? What about Feedback, Approval?

@RobBogue
Approval and Collect Feedback are MOSS. WSS is just 3 state

@PirateEric
those should be enabled too I believe, perhaps they didn’t activate that feature? Good stuff on the content types too.

@iwkid
I believe that is correct – WSS only ships with the 3-state workflow

@PirateEric
well I was wrong, the others are MOSS only defaults I see. http://is.gd/pidR

@dmcwee
I think that is correct. I believe WSS 3.0 only has the 3 Step workflow, by default. However, its been a while so I’m not 100%.

@airdalle
No, Approval and Feedback workflow are by default in WSS

@DanLewisNet
ya, wss has 3 default. approval, collect feedback, three state

@ToniFrankolaWell you can recreate these by SharePoint Designer in just a few clicks.

@LoweDaveI believe that is correct tfor a Team site WSS only, Feedback Approval are MOSS related. Publishing or Portal site collections

@meetduxYes, WSS 3.0 only has the three-state workflow out of the box. All the other workflows comes with MOSS 2007

@ToniFrankolaList level :(

@WoodyWindy
WSS does have a non-workflow-based approval mechanism, and of course, you can always use SPD to create one-off WF.

Thanks to everyone for the input. Here’s the confirmation documentation if you need it: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointtechnology/HA101641241033.aspx#2
