Sorry for reviving this old thread but I’m confused, too.
And sorry to say, but you guys are mixing things. The original OP aks about:
what the difference between a sequence and a workflow is
Then @Christopher_Gomez replies
There is no real difference between a linear workflow and a sequence. But Workflows(Flowcharts) are
So he’s like considering “flowchart” as a synonym of “workflow”. But in Studio this is considered a different thing, as there are two different entries in the “New…” menu for creating them:
Then, to add further confusion, @Jan_Brian_Despi is providing a link for sequences, flowcharts and state machines, but not to workflows.
Then @varunk talks about flowchart, but that was not in the original question.
And then @Jagdish2593 recommends different scenarios for workflow and flowchart, but, again, that was not the original question, as flowchart was not mentioned by @jipsen .
The confusion comes because there’s two different entries when creating both sequences and workflows in UiPath Studio, yet, in my testing, both options produced something like looks the same to me: a sequence, with the two pointing down arrows icon, and of type System.Activities.Statements.Sequence, as shown in the properties. They both look exactly the same to me. Excepting that, for a Workflow, it says is using a template.
I googled specifically for this, as it’s very confusing, and it took me to this thread, which added further confusion.
Can please anyone clarify and why these two separate entries in the menu?
