Batch Deploy to a Local Folder

Deploying to a local folder is the default build action in Workflow Studio. This action compiles and publishes each workflow, activity, class libraries, user interfaces, and other selected items to the _Assemblies folder on your local machine as well as a .pub file to the _PublishedItems folder on your local machine.
