Editing an active workflow

An active workflow is a workflow that is currently being used by one or more projects.

When you edit an active workflow, JIRA first creates a 'draft' of it.

* The 'draft' of your active workflow allows you to make modifications to the workflow with the benefit of real-time validations.
* Once you have finished modifying your draft workflow, you can publish your draft, during which you have the option of saving your original workflow as an inactive backup.

You can't do some things with draft workflows.  Louise has already answered this question

Hi Aamar,

Is the workflow associated with a project already?

You will need to copy the workflow, make your changes, then associate this new workflow with the workflow scheme.
