Reusing workflows avoids duplication. This makes workflows easier to maintain and allows you to create new workflows more quickly by building on the work of others, just as you do with actions.
Workflow reuse also promotes best practices by helping you use well-designed, tested, and proven effective workflows. Your organization can build up a library of reusable workflows that can be centrally maintained.
Rather than copying and pasting from one workflow to another, you can make workflows reusable. You and anyone with access to the reusable workflow can then call the reusable workflow from another workflow.
