Duplicating a State

You can duplicate any state in an application workflow or sub-workflow.

The default name for a duplicated state is state name 2. If you duplicate the state again, 2 is incremented to 3, and so on. For example, if you duplicate the state Unit Test, the duplicated workflow is named Unit Test 2. If you duplicate Unit Test 2, it is named Unit Test 3.

To duplicate a state:

• In the workflow editor, right-click the state, and select Duplicate.

  A duplicate (copy) of the state is created in the workflow.

  Note: The duplicate is unreachable until you connect it with a transition from another state. Use the Unreachable Paths option in the Show/Hide area of the Design tab of the Ribbon to change the appearance of unreachable states and transitions.
