TFS/Visual Studio 2012: Can't see workflow tab when trying to edit workflow item

I am trying to add two options to work item states in TFS through Visual Studio 2012. I came accross this article, but when opening the work item at hand (printscreen 3 in the article), I'm not forwarded to the Workflow tab, but I get some high level XML instead:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><workItemType dslVersion="3.0.0.0" Name="Bug"
source="http://bla.bla.local:8080/tfs/bla/bla/Bug"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dsltools/WITDesigner" />

How do I access the Workflow tab so I can add states to my work item?

You need to install the TFS Power Tools to get the graphical editor. Alternatively you can just edit the XML directly (it's fairly self-explanatory) and use the witadmin.exe command-line tool to import it once you're done editing.
