Need to find the workflow definitions that are actually configured to be active? It’s a good way to find configuration bloat that could be cleaned up.

Query for WorkflowDefinition objects and use the ManagementPolicyRule reference attributes that point to the Action and Authorization workflows.

# Find workflow definitions used by enabled Management Policy Rules
Search-Resources -XPath "
    /WorkflowDefinition[
        ObjectID = /ManagementPolicyRule[Disabled='false']/ActionWorkflowDefinition 
        or 
        ObjectID = /ManagementPolicyRule[Disabled='false']/AuthorizationWorkflowDefinition
    ]" -AttributesToGet DisplayName | Select DisplayName
