Labels and status are document properties you set in the document header. They are not tied to one view; they apply to the document everywhere.

​
Set a label in the document header

Click the label icon at the top right of the document to see color options. Examples:
  • No label
  • Blue
  • Red
  • Green
  • Orange
  • Purple
  • Yellow
  • Add label
The color you choose is applied to that document.

​
Where labels show up

When you set a label:
  • 📁 Sidebar document icon color
  • 📄 Card view color
  • 🕒 Timeline track (document moves there)
  • 🗂 All views (grid, list, etc.) use the same label
Labels are document classification, not just a view setting.

​
Set status in the document header

Click the status icon next to the label to see status options. Examples:
  • No status
  • Pre-revision draft
  • To do
  • Draft
  • Final draft
  • Done
  • Add status
Choosing a status sets the document’s progress stage.

​
Where status shows up

When you set a status:
  • Status icon in the document header
  • Status icon in card view
  • Status on timeline cards
  • You can sort and filter by status
Status is not limited to one view.

Label = structure. Status = progress.

​
How to use them

​
Structure design

  • Labels → opening / rise / crisis / climax / resolution
  • Status → planning / writing / revising / done

​
Emotional arc

  • Labels → conflict / calm / turn
  • Status → draft / pre-revision / done
Then the sidebar and timeline alone show both structure and progress.

​
Summary

Labels and status are set in the document header.
  • Labels show as document color
  • Status shows as progress stage
  • They apply in all views
  • The timeline visualizes them
Using both lets you manage structure and progress together.
