Workflows vs. work items

A workflow is a single instance of a workflow definition. It consists of one or more work items. A work item is the smallest individual piece of a workflow. The term "work item" is often used interchangeably with "step," although steps involving more than one participant actually consist of several work items, one for each participant.
