Hi,
For each issue I open at Jira, I can mark "to do" or "done". I would like to add more status options such as "done and checked" etc. How do I do that?
Thank you,
Lilah
Hello,
1. You need to add statuses to Jira.
2. You need to add the created status to your workflow.You can read more here about it
https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/define-new-status-or-steps-in-jira-workflow-718835875.html
If you are taking about boards then after adding new statuses to the required workflow you need to configure columns for you board. You can read more here

Thank you very much.
I have added the statuses, and added them to the workflow, but I can't activate the workflow/ un draft it/add it to my Jira. Can you please help me with that?
Thank you
Did you create a new workflow or you added statuses to the current workflow which you use for issue?
I some how managed to activate the workflow (or the workflow scheme, I got lost there).
And now, in my project I have two problems:
1. For each issue, I want to change the current status to the new statuses I have created but I still can't:(:(, I can only change it to a transition (picture attached), why is that?
2. Everything disappeared from my backlog. why?
now picture attached...
It astounds me that people think they can work with a tool like Jira with zero training or reading of documentation. All of these questions are answered within the first few (VERY FEW) pages on Workflows in Jira's documentation.
First, it's best to start by cloning your workflow so that you can work with a separate copy of it first.
Second, at the VERY LEAST you MUST learn what Steps, Statuses, and Transitions are. If you refuses to research this, then I'm not sure anyone can help you.
Finally, you should be trying this in a test project so that you don't interrupt your existing project. Blindly editing a workflow when you don't know what you're doing is just asking for data loss.
I would just say, be very careful editing transitions and adding statuses. We had a status added a while back, and there was no transition out of it. That was quite a headache until we sorted it out!
I was struggling with workflows for a while, however recently I was able to spend couple days just looking into all in and outs of it.
I will do a self plug, however, I find some people learn better by watching the video, so I have put creation workflows statuses and transitions in one video.
It is totally free without any gotchas, I want to share maybe you guys find it useful:

Thanks for sharing your video link which I have found most informative.
