This plugin provides the option to add new statuses to the backend and define the system relevant status settings. You can add/edit statuses just as categories or tags. All statuses are available for all your post types. You will find a new menu item located in the settings admin menu. For the sake of understanding, this plugin minimally changes messages, translations and workflow in Gutenberg Editor!
