How do I set state to skipped in Prefect 2?

there an equivalent to from prefect.engine.state import Skipped in Orion?

My first thought is Cancelled ?
States - Prefect Docs do I import it?

But from prefect.states import Cancelled doesn’t seem to work

My goal is to basically skip downstream tasks if there isn’t new data to process.

None yet, but it will be added. What are you trying to do though? Cuz in Orion you can do:

@flow
def myflow():
    a = task_one()
    if a.result() == "something":
        task_two()

so effectively the SKIP is controlled by the if statement. In Prefect one you can’t, use the if so you raise SKIP to propagate the signal downstream
…
“Yes SKIP will be a thing because there are use cases where this if is janky to shape”
