How do I change my project status

Getting Started

This article reviews how a project's status can be configured as on-hold, canceled, or active. We'll also review how to make a project private/public.

What you'll need

• 5 minutes
• A project to edit
• Administrator rights for the project in question (either as a specialist or an org admin)

Solution

1. Click your username in the top navigation, then select "My Dashboard".
2. Locate your project in the "Active Projects" section of "Manage Projects" from the menu on the left side. Refine the default search if it doesn't appear in the list.                                             
3. Select "Change Project Status" from the project's drop-down menu (click the ⋮ on the row of your project).

4. Select the status to which you want to change the project. 

   NOTE: Cancelling or placing the project on hold will send an email to those who have already volunteered for the project. You can optionally add a message to this email. Disabling the message will only remove your message from the automated email.
   
   Making a project private does not trigger an email to be sent to volunteers
