Viewing the current workflow

Viewing a document’s current workflow information allows you to identify which workflow the document is in, its current status in the workflow, and the possible transitions to the next state in the workflow.

To view the current workflow:

1. On the document’s General property page in the Workflow group, click the Status hyperlink. The Document Workflow dialog box appears similar to the following figure.

Each state of the workflow appears as a rounded rectangle. The current state of the document is outlined in red. The names of workflow transitions are shown in yellow boxes. Lines connect each transition from one state to another state. The direction of each transition is indicated by an arrowhead.

2. To make the entire workflow diagram appear in the window, click Zoom to Fit. The diagram is resized to fit the window.
3. Click OK to close the window.
