# Setting the project status

{% hint style="info" %}
**Required guided redaction permission:** Edit status
{% endhint %}

The project status indicates where the project is in the redaction and review process.

For information about how to configure the available status values, go to [Configuring the available file and project statuses](/textual/guided-redaction/guided-redaction-cross-project-config/project-file-status-values.md).

Each new project is assigned the built-in **Not started** status.

You can set the status from either the **Guided Redaction** page or the project details page.

## **From the Guided Redaction page**

From the **Guided Redaction** page, to change the status of a project:

1. In the **Status** column, click the status value.
2. From the status dropdown, select the new status.

## **From the project details page**

From the project details page, to change the status of the project:

1. In the page heading, click the status value.
2. From the status dropdown list, select the new status.

## From the project settings panel

You can also set the project status from the project settings panel. To display the project settings panel, either:

* On the **Guided Redaction** page, click the settings icon.
* On the project details page, click **More**, then select **Settings**.

On the project settings panel, from the **Status** dropdown list, select the new project status.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.tonic.ai/textual/guided-redaction/redaction-project-create-manage/redaction-project-status.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
