# Manage statuses

> Create and edit statuses used for workflow organization.

Statuses describe where a record sits in your workflow - for example, New, In progress, Resolved.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings -> Statuses">
    Navigate to the status settings page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Add status">
    Enter a name and pick a color.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    The status is available organization-wide.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Edit or delete

* Click an existing status to rename or recolor it.
* Use the actions menu to delete (existing records using the status may need reassignment).

## Tips

* Keep your status list short. Three to five values usually covers most workflows.
* Statuses pair well with the kanban board - each status can map to a column.
