If I need to update a workflow without affecting it's related existing transaction records, what workflow status should I set it to? Will be removing and adding some transitions so I don't want any records to suddenly change states while I'm fixing the workflow

Suspended. But you should note that locks everything in place... Including prevent records from joining

<@UER9Q3SGM> what do you mean by joining? Also if for example I put it to suspended and put a transition to a state w/o conditions, then once I set it to release it will automatically transition correct?

It will not transition unless something causes it to

So if you have a workflow that runs on records on create, with a status of suspended, it won't enter the workflow
