I have created a workflow, with one state, and given permission to the node author & to users in my user role to change states on the workflow. However, I cannot do so. All I see on the workflow tab is the word (creation), and then, below that, a Submit button. When I click the Submit button, nothing happens.

I think you're hitting the same conceptual problem I did. Basically, you need at least two workflow states. A node will never be saved in the "creation" state. It gets immediately upgraded to the first state when it's saved.

So you have to make sure to give "author" permission to change to the first state. It's OK if you don't want to allow them to go from the first to the second state, this just means they won't be given the option to on the node form.

IMHO, the module should give some sort of error message if you try to use a workflow with only one state, or if "author" can't change to the first state.
