Overview
Owned, Delegated, Shared, Get Started Examples, and Public Workflows are listed in Workflow Browser.
Workflow Browser lists Workflow by owner, number of tasks in Workflow, whether or not a Workflow is scheduled, who created the Workflow and when, who last modified the Workflow and when, and when the Workflow was last run.
Icons links are available for each Workflow providing a quick way to view, edit, show history, and archive.
Content of Workflows can be searched and front end Workflow information can be filtered.
Archived Workflows can be optionally displayed in the list.
The Workflow list can also be filtered by displaying only owned, delegated, shared, or public Workflows.

Last Run At: This describes the date and time of the most recent execution of the workflow via manual, schedule, remote, or Execute Workflow Task.
When a workflow is shared and is executed via Execute Workflow Task as shared workflow, the run-at date/time is not captured.
So, "Last Run At" for executions via Execute Workflow Task only applies for non-shared workflows.
Note:
Just click on workflow id (first column) will open in least restricted mode
Workflow can also be accessed/opened via Workflow Permalink
