title: Migrating a SharePoint Designer Workflow into Visual Studio Workflow
body: <p>Under normal circumstances you cannot move a workflow designed in SharePoint Designer to another site, or into Visual Studio for further customisation/development.</p>
  
  <p>I believe it is possible but was looking for some pointers on approach/technique and maybe some links to more information.  </p>
  
  <p>I know some MVPs (Todd Bleeker and others) have been working on this in the past, but I have yet to find a definitive solution to the issue.</p>
  
  <p>Also does anyone know if MS are considering improvements to the Workflow designer within the next version of SharePoint Designer?</p>
