Updating a Work Item Status
When workflows are enabled in a work group, you can update the status of work items in that work group.
You can only update the status of a work item if you are the owner of the work item, a user with 'approver' permissions, or an administrator.
To update the status of a work item
- Select a work group from the Work groups section.
- In the work items list, select the work item you want to update.
- In the Details pane, under Status, select the current status.
- In the drop-down menu, select the status you want.
The work item's status updates to the new status in the details pane and in the workflow status column in the work items list pane. The Work Item History updates, to record the user who changed the status.
