# 9.4 Project management (labels and status)

> Labels vs status, where to set them, how to use them

Project settings\
define **how you classify** and **how you track progress** inside a project.

Path: **Settings → Project**

These settings don’t change how you write —\
they’re a **management structure** for when you have many files.

***

## Project basics

Per project you can set:

* Project name
* Description
* Tags

These define the project’s identity\
and support file management and filtering.

## Labels

Path: **Settings → Project → Labels**

Labels classify files by **color**.

You can use labels for:

* Scene type
* Part
* Priority
* Idea vs. main text

Unlike status, labels\
are for **attributes**, not progress.\
They work as filters and sort options\
in the file list and card view.

***

## Status

Path: **Settings → Project → Status**

Status defines **progress** for a file.

Default examples:

* To do
* Draft
* Revised draft
* Final draft
* Done

Status shows **which stage** a file is in.\
You can add, remove, or edit status values.

***

## Labels vs. status

They have different roles:

* **Labels**\
  → Classify what the file is\
  (What is it?)
* **Status**\
  → Show how far it’s come\
  (Where is it?)

Labels = parallel.\
Status = sequential.

***

## Summary

Project management settings\
don’t change how you write —\
they’re a **structure to organize and track** files.

* Labels → define categories
* Status → define stages

The more files you have,\
the more these settings matter.
