 * Hi,
    When I want to save the edited default workflow, it saves new one as a new
   version of the same workflow! and i don’t access the new version in posts!!! (
   in free version) (also i can’t active or deactivate them) It means that in free
   version we can’t edit the default workflow or sth else?

 * Only one workflow version can be active at a given time.
 * Essentially, the start and end date on the version dictates if the workflow is
   available for use or not.
 * The start and end dates cannot overlap between versions.
 * You can edit the default workflow in the free version in the following way:
    
   1. If there are no articles in the workflow, you will be able to edit the workflow
   and save it.
 * 2. If there are articles currently active in the workflow, you can create a new
   version as you did. Specify end date to the current version and specify start
   and end date to the new version.
    I know it’s a little bit cumbersome, since 
   you have to juggle between the previous and new version in order to change the
   start and end date.
 * Alternatively, you can abort all the current workflows which will then allow 
   you to modify the current version of the workflow.
 * The “Pro” version does solve some of these issues by allowing you to do mass-
   abort and/or to create multiple workflows.
 * Hope this helps. Do let me know if you have further questions.

 * Yeah it was my fault, i’ve forgotten to remove the current post in the workflow
   
   But i have another problem: The workflow could be sign off ONLY in administrator
   mode? Here is not a administrator user but it must the possibility to do “sign
   off”, but he can’t. what i have to do?

 * What is the user role?
 * It looks like that user role doesn’t have “edit posts” and “edit others posts”
   capabilities.
 * Install the plugin called “User Role Editor” and assign those additional capabilities
   to the user role and you will be able to see the sign off and edit options.
