# Workflow stages

> Workflow stages

In a new installation, the workflow contains two default stages: **Unpublished** and **Published**. It is possible to add additional stages between these two. For example, you can set up a workflow where an FAQ entry is sent to be proof-read, so that someone checks the entry and then publishes it, or sends it unpublished back for editing.

## Create new stage

1. Go to <i class="ph ph-list" aria-label="Main menu" /> in the top bar and select **Knowledge base** > **FAQ**.
2. Click the **Workflow** button. This takes you to the **View workflow** screen.
3. Click the **New stage** button. This takes you to the **New stage** screen.
4. Enter a descriptive name for the stage in the **Name** field.
5. In the **Place new stage between** list, select where in the process you want to insert the new stage.
6. Click **OK**. This takes you to the **Edit stage** screen.
7. In the **Select user** list at the bottom of the screen, select the name of a user who is to have access to this stage in the workflow.
8. Select which access level the user should have. You can choose from the following options:
   * **Can move**: The user is permitted to change the workflow stage for entries (publish or cancel publishing).
   * **Can edit**: The user is permitted to edit FAQ entries.
   * **Full access**: The user has all rights in relation to the workflow.
9. Click **+** to add the user to the list under **User access**.
10. Repeat steps 7-9 to add more users.
11. Click **OK**. The stage is created and now available when you publish FAQ entries.

## Edit stage

You can both change the name of a stage and alter which users are to have access to it.

1. Go to <i class="ph ph-list" aria-label="Main menu" /> in the top bar and select **Knowledge base** > **FAQ**.
2. Click the **Workflow** button.
3. Click the name of the stage. This takes you to the **Edit stage** screen.
4. Edit the name as required.
5. Change which users are to have access to the stage:
   * To add users, follow the procedure above.
   * To remove users, select the user(s) in question, click <i class="ph ph-dots-three-circle-vertical" aria-label="Task menu" /> and select **Remove access for selected users**.
6. Click **OK**. The changes are saved.

## Delete stage

1. Go to <i class="ph ph-list" aria-label="Main menu" /> in the top bar and select **Knowledge base** > **FAQ**.

2. Click the **Workflow** button (<i class="ph ph-gear" aria-hidden="true" />).

3. Click the name of the stage. This takes you to the **Edit stage** screen.

4. Click **Delete**. If the stage is not associated with any FAQ entries, it is deleted immediately.

   <Note>
     You cannot delete the default **Unpublished** and **Published** stages.
   </Note>

5. If it is linked to FAQ entries, select which stage in the workflow these FAQ entries should be moved to. Select the stage you want in the **Move to workflow** list.

6. Click **Delete**. The stage is deleted and associated FAQ entries are moved to the selected stage.

## Publish via workflow

1. [Open the FAQ entry][1].
2. To adjust anything before publishing, follow the procedure under [Publish FAQ entries][2].
3. Click the **Move forward in workflow** button until **Published** is shown in the **Workflow stage** field in the **Details** tab.

   <Tip>
     You can cancel publishing of the FAQ entry by clicking the **Move backward in workflow** button.
   </Tip>
