I got tapped to help with an internal project to upgrade a couple of custom site templates from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. No big deal right? I'll just create a new site in SP2010 off of the original template, content DB attach it to 2013, and then export the template again. Well, it looks like I found a couple hiccups in the RTM upgrade process, that didn't let me do what I want with these templates. (The PG has them and is investigating) So, I'm stuck manually recreating them. One of the big pieces of the site is a workflow for tracking changes and states of items in a list. (Warning, I RARELY create SPD workflows.) I created a new workflow and starting clicking away. I got about 20 steps in, and couldn't get SharePoint Designer 2013 to create a "Collect Data" action. After doing some digging, it looks like there is a big list of workflow actions that were part of SharePoint 2010 that are no longer part of SharePoint 2013. The list is pasted below, along with a source link. Fear not though. SharePoint 2013 still allows users to create workflows on the SharePoint 2010 platform. If you need these legacy actions, make sure you select the "Platform Type" as SharePoint 2010 when you create the workflow. You cannot change the platform type once the workflow is created. I found this out the hard way.
