Workflow Conductor Studio: ribbon menus

Overview of the Workflow Conductor Studio

Menus in the Workflow Conductor Studio Ribbon

With SharePoint 2010, Microsoft introduced the concept of a fluid ribbon which changes based on what you are doing within a list or library. Prior to the ribbon interface in SharePoint 2007, list and library activities are conducted in menu options. The options within the ribbon are very similar even though the look has changed a little with the ribbon. We include both images below.
