# Manage Status
***Status Creation:*** Click on “Add New Status” to add statuses.
For instance, think of a task like a journey. It starts as "pending," moves on to "in-process," then "half-completed," and finally "completed." To keep track, give each stage a name and color so it's easy to see where things are in the process.
