Clicking Open Workflow opens the item directly in the Inbox. From there, the workflow may involve a single action or a multi-stage approval sequence, with each stage potentially requiring a file attachment before it can be completed. See Completing Action Requests for how to work through these stages, including the workflow summary rail and attachment requirements.
