# Phases Status

What are the statuses a Phase can have? How to change the status?

The project consists of multiple phases, each with a distinct status:

-   **Not Started:** Requires planning and resource allocation.
    
-   **On Hold:** Paused due to pending issue resolution.
    
-   **Active:** Progressing with assigned teams working on tasks.
    
-   **Completed:** Marks the achievement of key milestones and contributes to the project's overall success.
    

**Special Consideration for the Completed Status**

> **Warning:** Members who are Work Planners and lower access levels cannot create or modify Timesheets once a Phase is marked as **Completed**. Budget Managers and higher access levels retain the ability to manage Timesheets.

## How to change Phase and Subphase status?

1.  On the project page, click the Phase button on the left.
