Use this interactive demo to learn how to modify and save a Jira project workflow in minutes.

Quick summary

Updating a Jira workflow lets teams customize issue statuses and work types to match their project process. This step-by-step guide shows how to access Manage Workflow, edit a workflow item, and save changes directly from the Jira board.


Steps

  1. In your Jira space, go to the top-right corner and click the 'More Actions' button.
  2. Select 'Manage Workflow' from the list of options.
  3. Select the workflow item you want to update.
  4. Go to the right-hand panel and use the available options to make your desired changes.
  5. Once done, click 'Update Workflow'.
  6. Specify the work types you want to include in this workflow, then click 'Save'.
  7. The selected Jira workflow will be updated and confirmed accordingly.

📌 Why this matters

Keeping your Jira workflow aligned with your team's actual process is critical for accurate sprint tracking and issue management. The ability to quickly update workflow statuses and work types directly from the board reduces admin overhead and keeps projects moving. Teams that maintain well-structured Jira workflows see faster issue resolution and clearer visibility into project progress. This demo shows exactly how to make those changes in seconds, without needing a Jira admin or documentation lookup.
