## Overview

In some workflow states, you are able to transition directly to another state by choosing it from a drop-down list and then clicking the **Submit button**.

> ℹ️ This is the [Select transition](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649891610) and can be configured to allow a user to choose a destination state from one or more of the other states in the workflow.


If required, you can add a note which is stored in the [Document Activity Report - Content](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649891440) and, in most cases, emailed to other participants working on the document.
