'Wait for Event' step - which events can you wait for?

[Paul.Bakker@osr.treasury.qld.gov.au]

Folks,

I have created a simple Approval workflow with two branches:

Branch #1 sends an Approval workitem to a user,
Branch #2 waits for an external Approval event to occur, then (does some
other things) and terminates the workflow.

Simple, no?

However, while creating the 'Wait for Event' step in Branch #2, I noticed
the following warning (in the step description):

"You should not use this step type in a fork to wait for an event that is
triggered in another branch of the same fork."

My questions are:

- Huh? if the document is approved via Branch #1, then of course the
'Approval' event is going to be triggered!
  Are we supposed to raise a separate 'ManualApproval' event?

- what happens to the workflow if you ignore this advice?

thanks!
Paul
