# Project statuses
> What each renovation project status means, from Draft through Archived, and how a project typically moves through them.
Every renovation project has a status. It tells you and your team where the project stands, and it's what you see on project cards, in the status filter on the Projects page, and in the **Project Status** field on a project's Overview tab.
A new project starts out as **Planning**.
## What each status means
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| **Draft** | You've started setting up the project but haven't moved it into active planning yet. |
| **Planning** | The default for a new project. You're working out scope, budget, and timeline before renovation work starts. |
| **In Progress** | Renovation work is underway. |
| **On Hold** | Work is temporarily paused. |
| **Ready to List** | The property is renovated and ready to go to market. |
| **Completed** | The project is finished. |
| **Archived** | The project is put away. It no longer shows up as an active project, but nothing is deleted. |
## Setting a project's status
Open a project and go to its **Overview** tab. Under **Progress & Status**, the **Project Status** dropdown lets you set a project to **Draft**, **Planning**, **In Progress**, **On Hold**, or **Completed**.
**Ready to List** and **Archived** aren't options in that dropdown.
> **Note:** **Health Status** (On Track, At Risk, Delayed, Blocked) is a separate field next to Project Status on the same tab. It tracks whether the project is running on schedule, not what phase it's in.
## Typical progression
Most projects move roughly in this order:
1. **Draft** while you're setting things up.
2. **Planning** (where a new project starts by default) while you finalize scope and budget.
3. **In Progress** once renovation work begins.
4. **On Hold**, if needed, any time work is paused, then back to **In Progress** when it resumes.
5. **Ready to List** or **Completed** once renovation work wraps up. Either one makes the project eligible to be added to your portfolio if it isn't linked to a property yet.
6. **Archived** once you're done actively tracking the project.
## Where you'll see it
- As a colored badge on each project's card, in both grid and list view on the Projects page.
- As a filter on the Projects page, so you can narrow the list to a single status. All seven statuses are available as filter options, including Ready to List and Archived.
- In the **Project Status** dropdown on a project's Overview tab.
