US Patent 10033600 Client application integration for workflows

A method for providing client application integration for workflow management includes receiving a verification file, accessing a file through a client application, determining, based on the verification file, whether the accessed file includes a reference to a workflow component of a workflow stored on a server, retrieving the workflow component from the server, and displaying the workflow component referenced by the accessed file via an in-line user interface of the client application, further including displaying at least one selectable workflow management option for managing the workflow component using the client application.
