How Workflow Statuses Work

Workflows statuses work with versioned assets only, so it's impossible to add a status to a non-versioned asset. When a status is added to a versioned asset, it's related to the concrete current version of the asset and not to the asset as a whole. 

That means when a new version of the asset is added to the Version Control, it has its own new status. In contrast, any previously added statuses will remain linked to the respective previous versions.

Workflow statuses relate to asset versions.

When an asset has one or more Workflow statuses added, a horizontal color strip is displayed on the asset item in the asset view. A similar color strip is also available in the Version Control Details interface.
