Workflows created with Lifecycle Workflows are able to grow and change with the needs of your organization. Workflows exist as versions from creation. When making changes to other than basic information, you create a new version of the workflow. For more information, see Manage a workflow's properties.
Changing a workflow's tasks or execution conditions requires the creation of a new version of that workflow. Tasks within workflows can be added, reordered, and removed at will. Updating a workflow's tasks or execution conditions within the Microsoft Entra admin center triggers the creation of a new version of the workflow automatically. Making these updates in Microsoft Graph requires the new workflow version to be created manually.
