This will save you time and effort especially in workflows that need several similar steps.
Some examples for wanting to repeat workflow steps include:
You wish to repeat a set of steps and their configuration in the same workflow.
The same steps are needed in a separate or callable workflow.
You wish to create similar but slightly different steps (paste then edit)
You wish to save steps and their configuration for future use in any workflow.
