Statuses

Customize your feature workflow with statuses to track progress from submission to completion. Each status represents a stage in your feature lifecycle.

Creating Custom Statuses

3. Choose a color
4. Click Save

The new status is immediately available for assigning to features.

Editing a Status

1. Click the edit icon next to the status
2. Change the label, color, or icon as needed
3. Click Save

Changes apply immediately to all features with that status.

Roadmap Visibility

Each status has a Show on Roadmap toggle. When enabled, features with that status appear on your public roadmap.

Typical Setup

Status	Show on Roadmap
Planned	Yes
In Progress	Yes
Completed	Yes
Under Review	No
Declined	No
Archived	No

---

Board Visibility

Each status has a Show on Board toggle. When disabled, features with that status are hidden from the public board but remain visible in the admin panel.

This is useful for:

• Hiding declined features from users
• Keeping archived features out of the public view
• Managing internal-only statuses

---

Reordering Statuses

Drag statuses to change their display order:

1. Grab the handle on the left of a status
2. Drag it to the desired position
3. The order saves automatically

The order is used on board status tabs and roadmap columns.

Deleting a Status

1. Click the delete icon next to the status
2. Choose a replacement status for existing features that use it
