By associating workflows to the instanceInstance, you are indicating that any user-defined workflow properties need to be configured for this instance Instance across all selected environments (for Environment/-Instance-scoped properties) or all referencing projects (for project-scoped properties). See the Workflows chapter for details on creating workflow properties.
