Putting together a knowledgebase and the goal is to have different content types so we can assign different workflows based on the content type you use to upload your document. The problem is, I don't know too much about workflows at this point and online sharepoint references have so far proven to be abysmal.
First question: Why don't I seem able to build a master workflow on the Knowledgebase page that then appears in the scroll list when I go to add a workflow to my content type? It seems to want me to create a new workflow from scratch on each content type.
Second question: In the Defaul Workflow Start Values, when I check/uncheck "Allow Changes to the Participant List When This Workflow is Started" item, what precisely does that do? I've already left the "Allow workflow participants to reassign the task to another person" and "request a change before completing the task". So is the first option for the initial requestor to make changes to the workflow?
Third question: I'm getting the notification emails in Plain Text, with all the nice HTML showing. My guess is that this is because my company's email settings, but is there anything I can do in my sharepoint setup to change this?
