# Workflow configuration

We’ve completely rebuilt the **Workflow** and **Global Rules** configuration to offer a more intuitive and powerful experience. Whether you're setting up workflows for the first time or refining complex processes, this update simplifies everything — visually and functionally.

### Activating Workflow

To activate workflow for a specific item type, click 'Get started' button.

Once the Workflow is added, it becomes associated with your project item type and can be modified or deactivated later.

### 📴 Deactivating Workflow

You can **deactivate** a workflow, but not delete it. When deactivated:

* Rules and transitions remain visible but inactive
* Configuration is **read-only**
* A clear **status message** is shown
* You can **re-enable** it at any time

When you deactivate workflow, then both **Global rules** and **Transitions are deactivated.**
