How to edit a workflow?

Question

I am trying to figure out how to edit the checkpoints in a workflow. For example, some say "To-Do", "In Progress", etc. I would like to change some of the titles that are in the workflows that I use. I looked up how to do this and I got so far as to get to the workflow settings but there is no option to edit my workflow. I can see the workflow that I use but I am unable to actually edit the workflow. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

DO NOT CHANGE THE DONE status to another name!! That would be disastrous for you. You will definitely need to add a new status before the Done step. Check with your Jira Systems Administrator to get that added.  :-)

Hi John,

For example, I would like to change one of the statuses that is titled "Done" to "In Review" or at least add a step in the workflow to include this checkpoint. However, I am not an admin so i will need to see if I can get access to begin editing.

Thank you!

Hi Jack,

I don't believe I am an admin so that is most likely why I am unable to edit the workflows. I will see if I can get access to be able to edit the workflows. Thank you!
