SharePoint Workflow is defined as the automated movement of various documents or items through a series of tasks related to a business process. It is often used to efficiently manage different business processes by enabling an organization to incorporate a set of instructions to documents and items that specifies and controls the actions rendered to specific documents. 

Workflows can reduce the cost and time needed to coordinate different business processes (for example. Project approval, document review and tracking task updates). You can attach a workflow to a document library which routes the document to team members for approval.

The workflow creates approval tasks, assigns tasks to team members and sends email notification to members together with a link to the document. While the workflow is on going, the document author or the workflow owner and the participants can check the status of the project, which participants have completed their assigned tasks through the Workflow Status page.

When the participants have all completed their tasks, the workflow automatically ends and the workflow owner will be immediately notified about it.  End-users can access workflows at the document library level. Multiple workflows can be attached to any given document and can run simultaneously on a single document.

1. To make user experience more efficient, you may want to avoid feature bloating since SharePoint definitely comes with a lot of them. Remember to activate only the features that are truly needed.

2. Use a couple of user-friendly icons that link to corresponding libraries or list. 

3. Use minimalistic templates for your site and avoid creating multiple-page libraries.

4. Always place a sticky training site link on the top navigation containing a screenshot or video  based SharePoint usage tips like adding and deleting items, how to use the ribbon options, navigating through pages, downloading documents, etc.

5. Keep wiki and blog pages running on distinct site collections than the main team sites for better document management.

6. Create a simple and consistent top navigation. SharePoint users call this the Global Navigation which would ideally contain the top elements that you frequently need to have on hand (for example, links to various pages or subsites)

7. Avoid left/right scrolling. It could get so frustrating to have to scroll back and forth just to be able to read or view the entire content of a webpage.
