Use the following procedure to open the Site Assets document library on the top-level site of the site collection that the workflow template was saved to and then download the workflow template as a .wsp file to a local folder on the server that is running Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 or a network share. The downloaded file can then be uploaded to the Solutions Gallery of any site collection.

      The feature name is not the same name that you gave the workflow. Instead, the feature name is typically the workflow name with "ListInstances" appended to it.
      If you are not sure of the name of the feature that you want to activate, you can do the following to verify the feature name. 1) Make a copy of the .wsp file and change the file name extension on the copied file to .cab. 2) In Windows Explorer, right-click the .cab file, and then click Open. 3) Select feature.xml. The feature name is listed in the Path column.
