Statuses

Statuses help you visualize the progress of your Issues as you work on them.

You can customize statuses at the Board level. Every Board includes two default statuses that can't be deleted: "To do" and "Done". You can rename these defaults and add as many custom statuses as needed.

Create statuses​

Admins can add or edit statuses in new and existing Boards.
