I know there is this post out there. 
https://answers.laserfiche.com/questions/192433/Workflow-always-asks-to-publish-workflow#192493

I figured since it was a little older and no Laserfiche reply, I would start a new post. 

Every time I open a workflow in Designer, it opens with the asterisk in the name and if I want to run it, I get the prompt about unsaved changes and ask to republish the changes. It's not a big deal, just an annoyance. It does trip me up when I'm working on multiple workflow and I have to second guess myself if I did make a change to a workflow. 
Is this expected behavior? Is there a way to prevent it from showing changed when I just opened it?

Thanks.
