    2. Click the Add icon to add a status to the workflow process. A text box appears with a Tick mark icon.
    3. Enter the Status Name and click the Tick mark icon. A new status is created and it appears in the Statuses panel.
      Note: The Statuses panel displays only existing statuses that are not in use in the workflow process. Drag statuses from the Statuses panel to use it in the workflow process.

    From the Canvas Toolbar:

    1. In the Canvas Toolbar, click the Add icon . A new unsaved status is added to the canvas.
