# 7.1.2.2 Edit status from Board view

This feature allows users to easily modify the status of a task or project directly from the Kanban board view. By clicking on the task card, users can open the status editing menu to change the status to a different option or customize their own status labels.

This feature helps users keep the board view up-to-date with real-time changes and progress without navigating to a separate task or project page. It also enables users to track the status of their work more efficiently and accurately, allowing for better project management and decision-making. Additionally, the ability to customize status labels provides flexibility in adapting the software to specific project needs and workflows.

### Steps to Use:

* **Go** to **any project** and **select** the **Board View.**
* **Click** the **3 dots** of **any status** you want to edit and click it. 
* **Choose** the **edit option** and **click it**. A **modal** will **open**.
* **Edit** the **name** and **color** of your **status** and **click** the **update button** to **save it**.
