Hello -
I would also like the +1 this feature. I currently use the "clone"
feature of a workflow to make a copy and modify, but if I change the
original workflow, I think have to remember which workflows I cloned into
and hand modify them as well. If we had the ability to re-use workflows,
then we could develop modules that could be re-used in larger workflows.
Thanks much for the consideration,
Ann

This is definitely something we're looking to implement in Galaxy. I started working
on a proof of concept a while back for boxing workflows up as tools, but I have not had a
chance to finish it yet.
What Thon suggests in terms of a simple copy/paste is interesting, and probably a far
simpler first step that I'll look into. I could imagine a configurable set of
'component' workflows that you could click and have the steps plopped into your
existing workflow.
