4. Click OK to add the new state.
   Note: The requisite transitions are added automatically.
5. The first state added to the lifecycle definition is automatically the default. To set another state as the default, select it and click Set Default.
6. Select the new state and click the Transitions tab to modify the default transitions.
7. Select the Security tab to configure security for the selected state.
8. Select the Control tab and configure whether your state is a Released or Obsolete state. You can also identify how purges handle controlled versions of objects in this state.
9. Select the Comments tab and Add, Edit, or Remove any comments about the state or changes that have been made.
