- Open Settings, then Workspace, then Board statuses
- Rename a status
Edit the Status name box.
- Change its color
Choose the colored button next to the name and pick a color. The color has a name, such as Cobalt or Amber, so you never rely on color alone.
- Tick Counts as done for finishing statuses
Projects in a done status are not counted as overdue and appear as completed in reports.
- Reorder with Move up and Move down
The order is the left-to-right order of columns on the Board.
- Choose Add for a new status, or the trash button to delete one
- Pick Default status for new items
- Choose Save changes
Be careful
Deleting a status asks you to confirm. Make sure no important projects still use it.
