Abstract
An important capability of workflows is that they can be persisted (saved and reloaded at a later time). Workflow persistence is especially important when developing applications that coordinate human interactions, since those interactions could take a long period of time. But persistence is also applicable to other types of applications. Without persistence, the lifetime of your workflows is limited. When the host application is shut down, any workflow instances simply cease to exist.
