Below we will explain the different statuses of a project, how to set them, and what the effect on the project list is. Each status determines whether team members can work on the project and where it appears in the project overview.
⚠️ Attention: Only the Project Leader of a project, or a BIMcollab Space Administrator can change the status of a project.
Change a project status
To change a project status:
Go to the All projects tab.
Click the three dots icon next to the project you want to change the status of.
Select the new project status, Activate, Deactivate or Delete.
Active:

For an administrator of the BIMcollab space the project will also be in the All Projects tab, if the project status filter is set correctly.

Inactive projects are read-only. Use this status if you want the project to remain accessible, but do not want team members to change anything in the project.
