Post Statuses

Overview

Post statuses help you categorize feedback and track progress. Moderators can set these statuses to clearly communicate the current state of each post to your community.

Setting Post Statuses

On Web

Navigate to the post and select the desired status from the status dropdown.

On Discord

Click the ⚙️ button on the post and select the status you want to set.

Customizing Statuses

You can customize each status with your preferred:

Icon
Text
Color

You can also create new custom statuses and reorder them as needed.

Try out the status label editor below:

Status Label Playground

Try creating your own status label to see how it would look. This is just for demonstration - it won't be saved anywhere.

Status Labels on Roadmap

Status labels play a key role in organizing your roadmap:

Each status can become a column on your roadmap view
Posts automatically appear in the column matching their status
You can choose which status labels appear on the roadmap
The order of columns can be customized to match your workflow

To configure roadmap columns:

Navigate to your community's roadmap page
Click the "Edit Roadmap" button
Select which status labels to display as columns
Drag to reorder the columns as needed
Save your changes

This organization helps your community visualize the progress of feedback from initial ideas to completed features.
