Manage Global Visibility #
You can hide or show certain transitions and actions.
Example: Mark as completed is hidden when an order is already completed, preventing duplicate or confusing actions.

Caption: “Hide redundant actions when the status already matches.”
Best Practices #
- Keep most-used statuses at the top for quicker access.
- Group related statuses together (e.g., Packing, Ready, Out for Delivery).
- Hide actions that are redundant or error-prone to simplify workflows.
Troubleshooting #
- Order dropdown not updated? Save changes and refresh WooCommerce admin.
- Status missing? Verify it is published and visible in settings.
- Unexpected action available? Recheck visibility rules in Transition & Ordering.
