How to activate the inactive workflow in Free Plan

[Surajkumar Bhutada]

I tried all steps mentioned in the below page but still unable to activate the inactive workflow. It doesn't work for me. When I am trying to assign the workflow to the project, it is not listed for me, so I cannot do any action. I don't see an option to assign workflow to project.

Hello @Surajkumar Bhutada 

Couple of questions:

• Have you created your workflow and linked it with the workflow scheme
• Within your project go to the Project settings -> Workflows
• Click on the "Add Workflow" -> Add Existing
• Is your project a team-managed or company-managed project?

Thanks for your reply.

In Project Settings, I don't find option 'Workflows'.

Instead, I find this option of 'Workflows' in Jira Settings -> Issues -> Workflows. Here I clicked on 'Add Workflow' but didn't get option to 'Add Existing'. I created workflow and linked it with workflow scheme. 

I am not sure how to find if the project is company owned or team owned.

No problem.

You can see if your project is company or team managed on the bottom left corner of your project home page:

Do you have something like this:

The project is team-managed one. And yes, I have the page like your screenshot # 2.

Understood, you can modify the workflows directly to the team-managed project. The inactive workflows are for company-managed projects. Meaning, when you modify the team-managed workflow it is automatically active.
