# How to use transitions in a workflow ## Adding transitions between states Transitions control the flow between states and they are crucial for enabling state changes within a workflow. To add transitions between states in your workflow, press the “Add”-button to the far right while editing a state.

You will then be given the option to set up transitions from the state you are editing.

Select the state you want to transition to from your list of created states. Provide a label and a description to help identify and clarify the purpose of the transition. You can also set up permissions to limit who can use the selected transition. ## Transitions in workflow example In the previous tutorial, "[How to Set Up and Edit a Workflow](/tutorials/guides/how-to-use-workflows/how-to-set-up-and-edit-a-workflow.md)", we established states to define the various stages in a workflow. Now we will create a transition from the state "Draft" to "Enrichment In Progress." Below you can see an example of a workflow where we want to create a transition into the state "Enrichment In Progress". This transition has been given the label "Begin Enrichment" in order to clearly indentify the transition. The description field is used to distinguish transitions in case there are multiple under a single state.

Below you can see an example of a state with a transition added to it.

Now with the transitions created we continue setting up the rest, until we have the following example of a workflow. Below you can see all the states created with associated transitions between them.
