| Change Workflow State |
Sends a notification when a file's workflow state changes. To be notified for all workflow state changes for the selected file, leave the state fields set to Any State and Any Transition.
Otherwise, select specific states and transitions. The options available depend on how your workflows are configured.
Initially, all workflow options are available. When you select an option for a field, choices for other fields are constrained to what is defined in the workflow. For example, when you select a Source state, the options for Destination state and State change are limited to those available for that source state.
- Source state - initial state of file.
- Destination state - file state after the transition.
- State change - transition used to trigger the state change.

- Only files I have created
- Only if I changed state last time
