Editing a workflow

[Nick Conway]

Atlassian makes it sound simple, but it feels far from it. I added options to a workflow not realizing how difficult it would be to remove them. My question is simple - how on earth do you edit a workflow? Atlassian gives zero guidance on this. I understand you need to copy it, but i cant even locate how to do that. I've used this tool for 8 years and something so simple is made so difficult.

I'd provide a photo, but Atlassian won't even let me do that.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi Nick,

I assume you are talking about status of a workflow. You can find a how to here.

I am doing this on a daily base and I can confirm it is somehow confusing.

This is EXACTLY what i needed. Thank you!

If you are using the new editor it is much easier to remove statuses, it doesn't require the workflow to be inactive when you do it. The KB @Ingo Volkhausen only applies if you are using the old workflow editor.
