How do you move a workflow from inactive to active?

[Gabriel Brown]

I'm new to Jira and I tried to create a new workflow for a project, but it automatically got moved to inactive and I can't access it. How to I change it's status to active and add it to my project?

Hi @Gabriel Brown

Welcome to JIRA!

When you associate the workflow to a workflow scheme and then the workflow scheme to a JIRA project, the workflow will become active..

Inactive just means that the workflow is not currently used by any project

but where do I find the inactive workflows

[Fazila Ashraf]

@Annika Brebion , in the JIRA administration - List of workflows, the workflows are grouped as 'Active' and 'Inactive' workflows.
