Every task has a status showing where it is in your workflow. New tasks start as Not Started.

The seven statuses

Change a task’s status

Open the task and pick the new status, or change it straight from the Tasks list. You can move a task to any status at any time. The usual flow runs Not Started, In Progress, In Review, To Submit, Done. Done and Cancelled tasks move to the Closed tab on the Tasks page.

Put a task on hold

Set the status to On Hold and Arkata asks why. A reason is required, up to 300 characters. The reason appears on the task in an On Hold Reason card, so everyone can see what it is waiting for. You can edit it while the task stays on hold, and moving the task out of On Hold clears it.
Tasks on hold do not count as overdue, even if the due date has passed.

Who gets told about a status change

Nobody is notified about their own changes.
