Draft
This is the first status of an assignment. It is typically the status where you create and modify your assignment, until it has the content and the settings you want to use. In Draft, an assignment can always be edited. All changes are autosaved.

To be reviewed
When you have finished creating the assignment, and you want a third person (e.g. a colleague or supervisor) to check and review the assignment, you can send a notification mail to this person and the assignment will automatically get the status To be reviewed.

Reviewed
​When an assignment has been reviewed, the reviewer can change its status to Reviewed, indicating to the author that the review process has been finished.

Approved
​When you approve an assignment, it can be scheduled for the participants. The assignment retains the status Approved as long as no participant starts the assignment. You can still make unlimited changes to an assignment with the status Approved.

Live
​When an assignment has been started by at least one participant, its status changes to Live automatically. At this stage, only limited changes are allowed.

Archived
Live assignments (and their results) cannot be deleted. You can, however, archive live assignments. They are then moved to the Archive and get the status Archived.
By default, the results of archived assignments are not displayed in the Results module, but you can still display them if you want.
