--- title: "Edit the workflow" canonical: "https://support.appfire.com/space/CDML/649924594/Edit%20the%20workflow" format: markdown --- > Macro (aura-html) ## Workflow editor The workflow editor in the workflow builder lets you edit the workflow, including the workflow name, description, the workflow label filter, and add or edit workflow triggers. ![workflowbuilkder_editworkflow_withtrigger.png](media://c2d47291-792a-401a-9c30-312a13a56848) You can use the workflow editor to: - Edit the **workflow name** and **workflow** **description** - Add a **content label filter** to manage the application of the space workflow - Add one or more [workflow triggers](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649563178) using markup - Set **sticky labels** that can only be removed by users with administrator permissions - Add workflow **Admin users** who can, for example, remove sticky labels or manually override the workflow state - Set the **content types** that the workflow is applied to (pages, blog posts, or both) - Configure the display of the progress tracker bar in the workflow state dialog box and whether the page status macro is updated on state change ## Open the workflow editor To edit and configure the workflow: - Choose the workflow name in the [workflow panel](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649529902) to edit the workflow ![workflowbuilder_workflowname_withpencilselected.png](media://a97fbace-5000-4f86-b328-63317c7a0a66) > ℹ️ You can also select the **Workflow **lozenge in the Navigator panel to open the workflow editor. ## Workflow options Use the workflow editor to edit or add the following: ### Workflow name and description - Workflow name (required) - Workflow description (optional) ![workflowbuilder_extract_workflowpanel_editworkflow_simplapproavlworkflow.png](media://74efed87-d1a7-4043-8010-b391b84c24c9) ### Labels filter You can add one or more content labels (optional) that filter the space workflow application based on the document content labels. ![workflowbuilder_editworkflow_labels_extract_addedlabel_filter.png](media://516321ae-ad34-45e0-8b9e-9d9a2dc4963d) You can check the **Invert labels** option to apply the workflow to documents that do not have the specified label(s). The **Advanced** menu lets you configure the workflow further: ### Triggers You can add a workflow trigger using the **Triggers** box. ![image](media://0233ff1a-646b-4fa0-9e4d-2ad0f4ce7ac0) - Add the workflow trigger to the box as workflow markup - Choose **Apply** to add the trigger Each [trigger](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649859133) successfully added to a workflow is displayed under **Rules** in the workflow panel. ![workflowbuilder_workflowpanel_rules_one_trigger_added.png](media://df8523f9-d546-4b20-b0b0-b49a4282d115) - Click **Rules** to display the context of the added workflow trigger ![workflowbuilder_workflowpanel_rules_context_statechaanged_trigger.png](media://436b02a3-5c3e-4d05-93e0-a7d1cb661e39) > ℹ️ **Rules** can only be amended by editing the [trigger markup](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649859133). ### Sticky labels Use **Sticky labels** to set one or more labels that only a user with Confluence** **administrator permission, or a user added to the workflow as one of the **Admin users**, can remove from the page ![image](media://e374f251-99d3-42a6-a6e0-1e81d5eaae17) This option can be useful to prevent a content label filter from being removed from a page. ### Admin users You can set one or more users as a workflow administrator. This can be useful when you want to give page editors greater access to the added workflow on a page, such as the ability to remove workflow **sticky labels**. ![workflowbuilder_editworkflow_adminusers.png](media://c95d583a-d2ed-4cb3-8a18-7ad256c0f539) - add one or more users as a comma-separated list ### Content types Use the checkboxes to set the type of content the workflow is applied to (pages, blog posts, or both) ![image](media://a5993b70-4e8e-4a2a-919d-35ba88211ba5) > ℹ️ By default, both are checked, and the workflow is added and applied to both pages and blog posts. If only one content type option is checked and you want to change the content type the workflow is applied to, check the required content type before unchecking the one that is not required. The workflow builder does not allow both these checkboxes to be unchecked at the same time. ### List These options let you set some behaviors of the workflow on a page. ![workflowbuilder_editworkflow)listoptions_progresstracker_pagestatusmacro.png](media://dc26c690-fa6d-416a-a901-6288cd05c818) You can configure the following: - **Display Progress Tracker** - Clear this checkbox to hide the progress tracker in the workflow state dialog box - **Update {status} macro** **when the workflow state changes** - When checked, the workflow updates the Comala Page Status macro (if added to the page) ## See also - [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/650248771](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/650248771) - [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649596028](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649596028) - [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649563178](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649563178)
