This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: Define New Status or Steps in JIRA Workflow
I found similar questions in the past and answers, but still i don't get the difference between a step and a status
If someone can give me some examples or scenarios it might help clearing things up.
Hope you can help
Tnx
Shirley
different names for the same thing unless they are counting the transition as the 'step' because you can have multiple transitions from a status based on values of fields or user role/group
Thanks for the quick response Joe!

Where there is some explanation, but i still don't get it =0
A step is a point in a workflow. A status is mapped to the step and that is what users see.
Workflow steps are a fairly generic concept in the workflow world.
I think of Steps as being the structure of a workflow. As Steven says, things move from point to point in a workflow.
The status is the user-friendly display of a step - if you look closely at the options available, you'll see that while steps are fixed points, you can change the status associated with a step - it's a facade for the users.
