# Entry Statuses

## What are statuses?

A status shows where an entry stands in your follow-up process, for example *Proposed*, *Under consideration* or *Accepted*. Each entry has **one status at most**.

### Statuses are different from tags

Tags describe what an entry is about, are only visible for managers and an entry can have as many as you like. A status describes where the entry is in your process, is public information and an entry can have only one.

For example, an entry about a new bike lane could have the tags *Mobility* and *Cycling* and the status *Under consideration*.

## Manage statuses

Statuses are managed per project. When you create a project, statuses are defined automatically unless you use a template or copy a project where statuses have been removed.

You can edit, reorder or delete statuses, and add your own:

- **Add:** create a new status and give it a name in each of the project's languages.
- **Edit:** change the name of a status.
- **Reorder:** drag statuses into the order you want. This order is used in the status dropdown and in the filter.
- **Delete:** remove a status you no longer need. You'll be asked to confirm first.

## Apply, change or remove a status on an entry

A new entry does not get a status automatically.

1. Open the entry in the moderation flow and go to the **Analysis** tab.
2. Use the **Status** dropdown to select a status. The change is saved immediately.
3. To change the status, select another one in the dropdown.
4. To remove the status, select **None**.

## Good to know

- **Renaming a status** updates all entries that have this status.
- **Deleting a status** sets all entries that had this status to **None**. The entries are not deleted.
- **Filter:** in the moderation list you can filter on one or more statuses at once, or on **No status**.
- **Export:** an entry's status is included in the export.
