      Please take note of the following limitations:

      • Stages need to be defined on the process before they appear on a batch.
      • Adding a stage to a process does not add that stage to pre-existing batches.
      • Removing a stage from a process does not remove that stage from pre-existing batches.
      • If you change which process a batch is using, the stages on that batch will not change.
