Add a Workflow Transition

  1. Navigate to Settings and then select the Workflows menu option: Settings tab in left navigation with Workflows selected.

  2. Click the gear icon next to the Workflow you wish to edit: Workflow Gear Icon.

  3. Scroll to the desired step and choose one of the status options from the dropdown: Workflow Status Options option.

    Note: In the dropdown you will see a list of statuses on the workflow that have not already been added as a transition for the step. If you do not see a dropdown, that means you already have all available options added to the step.

  4. Click the + button: plus button.

  5. If desired, add a Role for the transition: roles drop-down menu.

    Note: If there are no roles specified, any user with access to modify content will be able to complete the transition for the content item or asset this workflow applies to.

  6. JavaScript can be used in the Expression field to specify if there are only certain conditions where users can change the status: Expression field on transition.

  7. Scroll up and click the Save button: save button.
