    i want to know the difference between these situations:

    1- making the workflow fire on change.

    Or

    2- dragging a onworrkflowchanged activity which is fired when the item is change, when to use each one. its confusing.

    > 1- making the workflow fire on change.

    The workflow is not running until the event occurs. So no running workflow or overhead until the event.

     

    > 2- dragging a onworrkflowchanged activity which is fired when the item is change

    The workflow would like already running when it hits this activity, at which point it will "go to sleep" and wait for the change to occur. This would be used in a workflow that would be started manually, or when the item is created, or any other event, and then run to this activity and then pause and wait.
