# Change task status

As a Lead user on solicitations, you have the ability to change tasks for evaluators and evaluation leads from the Progress page of a solicitation. The tasks can be changed to any of the four statuses: Not released, Not started, Started, or Completed.

**Not released:** when the status is Not Released that means it is not yet visible as a due task for the user it is assigned to. 

**Not started:** when the status is Not started that means it is visible to the assigned user, but it has not been clicked on and viewed by the by that user.

**Started:** when the status is Started that means the assigned user has clicked on their task and viewed it in the evaluation or consensus tool.

**Completed:** when the status is Completed that means the assigned user has successfully submited the evaluation or consensus for review.<br>

To change a tasks status:

A task can be updated as many times as needed. Please note the following when updating tasks:

* If an evaluation task changes from Started to Completed it will no longer be accessible by the evaluator assigned to it
* If an evaluation task changes from Completed to Started the evaluator will be able to access that task again
* If an evaluation task changes from Completed back to Started the evaluation lead will not see their consensus task until the evaluator submits, or the Consensus task is changed to Not started
