# Project status

> Find out how to add a new project status in SuperOffice CRM. Create and manage predefined statuses to track project phases and streamline workflows efficiently.

This task is done in Settings and maintenance and you must be an administrator.

The **Status** field in the Project card helps categorize and track a project's progress. These statuses are predefined in the **Project - Status** list, which you can manage in **Settings and maintenance** under **Lists**.

Statuses can be linked to [project types][1], specifying which statuses are available for each type. If no project guide is defined, the **Status** field is still visible on the project, allowing users to view and update the project's current status.

## Add a status

1. Select <i class="ph ph-list-bullets" aria-hidden="true" /> **Lists** in the Navigator.

2. Select **Project - Status** from the dropdown menu. The **Items** tab displays all existing statuses.

3. Click **Add** to open the **Edit list item** dialog.

4. In the **Name** field, enter the name of the new status. *(Mandatory)*

   This name will appear in the **Status** field on the Project card.

5. *(Optional)* Add a description in the **Description** field to explain the status's purpose.

6. Click **Save** to apply your changes or **Cancel** to discard them.

## Edit or delete a status

1. Follow steps 1-2 in **Add a Status** to access the **Project - Status** list.

2. To edit:
   1. Double-click the required status to open the **Edit list item** dialog.
   2. Update the fields as needed and click **Save**.

3. To delete:

   1. Select the status in the list and click **Delete**.

   <Warning>
     Deleting a status removes it from all linked project types and project guides. Ensure it is not in active use before proceeding.
   </Warning>

## Restore a deleted project status

If a project status has been deleted, you can restore it from the **Project - Status** list. However, restoring does not automatically reestablish any links between the restored item and related project types or guides. You must recreate these connections manually if needed.

The steps are similar to [restoring a deleted project type][2].

[1]: ./project-type

[2]: ./project-type#restore
