5. Assign Custom Statuses to Orders:
- You can now assign the imported custom order statuses to individual orders or use them in bulk actions.
- To assign a custom status to an order, go to the Order Detail page and select the desired status from the "Status" dropdown.
- For bulk actions, go to WooCommerce > Orders, select the orders you want to update, choose the "Change status to" bulk action, and select your custom status.
