## Overview

The workflow state dialog box lets you track every stage of the workflow process applied to a document.

The contents of the workflow state dialog box change to reflect the:

- Current state of the workflow
- Type of [transition](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMALACDCLS/pages/649533202) that is defined from the current state

If the state has a content review, it is characterized in the workflow state dialog box by buttons, usually captioned "Approve" and "Reject.”

Reviewers can use the dialog box to undertake an approval decision. In some workflow states, the state dialog box can be used to manually assign one or more reviewers.

## Workflow progress tracker bar

The workflow **progress tracker bar** can be found at the bottom of the workflow state dialog box.

The progress tracker shows the current state in the workflow. Usually, the tracker displays all the states, although in some workflows a state may be hidden.

In the example tracker bar above, the workflow is the [Quality Management System workflow](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMALACDCLS/pages/649534071). The state missing from the tracker bar is **Obsolete. **This **Obsolete** state only appears in the tracker bar when the workflow is in the state.

Hiding the workflow state on the tracker bar is sometimes used to support the team’s focus on the overall workflow.
