When you are finished, click Publish. The dialog allows you to publish your draft and, optionally, save your original workflow as an inactive backup.

Hello @wenjing_w_j_liang_sp ,

You having project administrative privileges.

To view workflows --> you need jira administrative privileges i.e  you have to be in "jira administrators" group.

[wenjing_w_j_liang_sp]

Yes, I am one of the administrators

[wenjing_w_j_liang_sp]

How to apply for the authority of this jiraadmin? Does the operation of saving the original workflow require the authority of jiraadmin?

[wenjing_w_j_liang_sp]

Do I need jira administrator privileges to edit a workflow? But I can edit it now.

Hello @wenjing_w_j_liang_sp ,

After modifications of existing workflow. if you click on publish, jira shows a popup. to save the original copy as backup (without modifications). if you choose Yes. that will saved and shown under "inactive".

Hi @wenjing_w_j_liang_sp ,

I think you can try to save a cloned workflow before modification.

[wenjing_w_j_liang_sp]

I Thank so,  but   i can not find  Where to save a cloned workflow.

You need to log in as a user with the Administer Jira global permission to access and manage workflows.
