### February 18th, 2021

Workflows can now be edited<sup>*</sup> to add a **select** transition to a state.

![image](media://cae6f1a0-82ce-4558-82cd-e911dea27b01)

Each individual state can be configured to allow users to use the workflow popup to choose a destination state and transition the workflow to this state.

One or more options for the destination state will be displayed in a dropdown menu in the workflow popup.

![image](media://6da4a606-c886-44d9-b8cb-8d1e3574b6f6)

The destination state options displayed in the popup are configured using the transition editor in workflow builder.

![image](media://5312c5c1-3c34-464c-9327-4fc92a5ddd9c)

The **select** transition cannot be used

- in a state with an **approval**
- in a **final** state

A **select** transition can be added to a state together with an **expired** transition and an **updated** transition.

A **select** transition will not be available to add to a state with an **approval** added - the transitions editor will only display the **approved**, **rejected**, **updated** and **expired** transition options.

Adding an approval to a state with a previously added **select** transition will replace the **Submit** option on the workflow popup on the content with the **Approve** and **Reject** buttons.

<sup>*</sup>:warning: **Comala Document Control for Cloud** release from 15th July 2021 - workflows can no longer be edited. *Custom workflows can only be created and edited if you upgrade to the **[Comala Document Management for Cloud app](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDMC)**.*
