# Add a state flow

> [!note]
> To configure Content Hub, you must either be a superuser or have the necessary permissions granted to you through [user group policies](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/user-group-policies.html "User group policies").

After you [enable a state flow definition](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/enable-state-flows.html "Enable state flows"), you must add an *operation* to the *definition* detail page. You must also add the state flow operations to the target detail page, which makes the transition buttons visible.

To add a state flow:

1. On the menu bar, click **Manage** :mdiCogOutline:.
2. On the **Manage** page, click **Pages**.
3. On the **Pages** page, select the details page you want.
4. On the **Layout** tab, click **Add component** :mdiPlus: for the zone you want to modify.
5. In the **Add component** dialog, click **Entity operations**, define a name for the component, turn on the **Visible** switch, and then click **Add**.
6. On the **Layout** tab, click the **Entity operation** component.
7. On the component detail page, click **Add operation** and select **State flow transitions**.
8. In the **OPERATION SETTINGS** section, from the **Display options** list, specify which state flows are applicable for the target definition objects. When there are no state flows selected, all existing state flows are available.
9. Click **Save**.
