# 6.2.5.1 Change Task Status

### Steps to Change Task Status:

* Select a **task**. The **task modal page** opens.
* Click the **down arrow** in the **Item Priority section.**  
* A **list** of **Priorities** will open.
* **Choose** the P**riority** you want to **add** to the task. 
* Click it. The status of the task will be changed.
