Manage Global Visibility#
You can hide or show certain transitions and actions.

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.
