Change Task Status
Move a task through its status lifecycle without losing the activity trail that explains what changed and why.
Use the task detail property control or the relevant list-level action when the only change is status.
- Choose a valid status.
- Apply the transition from the correct surface.
- Preserve a clean activity trail.
Where this happens
Same Task, Other Interfaces
Use the version that matches where you are working now. The subject matter stays the same; the delivery changes by surface.
Do the work
- 1. Open the task detail page or the task list row that exposes the status control.
- 2. Choose one of the allowed states: backlogged, planned, progressed, completed, or cancelled.
- 3. Confirm the UI reflects the new state immediately.
- 4. Read the activity or timeline if you need to confirm when the transition was recorded.

Create a task with the right title, ownership, and optional planning context from the start.
Open Task Detail
Inspect one task in depth so you can understand status history, ownership, labels, comments, resources, and linked work before changing anything.
Update Task Details
Change ownership, deadlines, labels, project links, description, or other mutable task fields without conflating that work with a status transition.
Open a Saved Task View
Use task saved views when the same filtered slice of work should stay shareable and reusable.
