To minimize the risk of disruption and data loss, we strongly recommend installing SharePoint and Winshuttle Workflow on a development server first. The development server simulates a server in a real work environment, but it operates in isolation so that it does not affect other users. You can create, test, and refine your processes on the development server before moving them onto a production server in your real work environment. When you are ready to move to the production server, specify the URL of the production server within Winshuttle Workflow, and publish your workflows and/or forms to that server.
