Reindex Workflows
The option Reindex workflows of imported spaces should be used when you have imported your instance or space from cloud to cloud.
This is a final step required after importing to update the document to state correctly for those pages that you have not visited yet.
There are some circumstances where you may need to reindex your workflows. For example, if your users report issues with workflow states - the document state can be displayed as 'not initialized' in the document report and page document activity. Reindexing your workflows ensures that up-to-date workflow document activity history is displayed for each document.
The Reindex Workflows option is only used for cloud-to-cloud migration. It is not required or relevant when migrating content from a server or data center instance.
