How it works

1. You just created a new workflow (version 1, for example). It has the Checked Out state equal to TRUE and the Published state equal to FALSE.
2. You have edited it to the end, and then you decided to publish it. You click Publish, and your workflow now has the Checked Out state equal to FALSE and the Published state equal to TRUE.
3. In a while, you need to modify it, and you make a checkout, what has happened:
   1. There's a copy of the existing workflow has been created;
   2. The existing workflow was not affected;
   3. The copy created has the Checked Out state equal to TRUE and the Published state equal to FALSE.
4. You have finished editing this copy and published it, what has happened;
   1. The previous workflow (that was version 1) has been archived (now it has the Checked Out and Published states equal to FALSE).
   2. The workflow you were working on is now an active one.
