11. Add the Document Review Workflow

In this step, you will add a new workflow on the Documents to Review and Approve K2 Application elements page. This workflow also starts manually (on-demand) and you select the reviewer or reviewers you want to send the document to. This workflow contains a rework step, which creates a looping effect between the reviewer's task step and the document originator's rework step. This loop can repeat itself as many times as necessary until the reviewer or reworking originator select a different outcome.
