The leads lifecycle can have several other states that happen between the time that a lead is opened and closed. You can disable any of these intermediate states from the leads lifecycle.

When you disable a state, you can no longer use it in state transitions.

Concepts

What are states?: Fields are attached to states (such as New, Assigned, or Closed). A state is a specific stage in the lifecycle of a lead record. A lead begins its life by being in a New state and ends with either a Won or a Lost state. In this process, the lead can pass through several other states also. For example, when a new lead is assigned to someone, it can move to an Assigned state, or when someone on your team fixes an appointment with a lead, the record might move to a Meeting scheduled state.

Where are states used?: In workflows. States go into workflows (such as schedule a call, meet and do stuff, or schedule a follow-up). The following diagram shows the default workflow of a new lead record.
