# Chat statuses

<Badge color="blue">Available in Piebald Basic (Free)</Badge>

In Piebald, once you're done with a chat, you can assign it a **status** of **Done**, **Backlog**, or **Abandoned**. Chats with the Done or Abandoned status are hidden from your active chat sidebar.  Backlog chats are shown in a subsection of the project/worktree.  If you don't assign any status, the chat will be considered and marked as in progress.

### Marking chats

You can assign a status to a chat using three methods:

**Status icon next to the chat title:** Up in the header bar at the top of the chat view, there's a gray circle next to the chat title.  Clicking it reveals a dropdown containing the chat statuses.

**Using the chat actions menu in the sidebar:** Click the cog icon next to a chat in the sidebar:

**<kbd>Ctrl/Cmd</kbd> hover and click chats in the sidebar:** Hold <kbd>Ctrl/Cmd</kbd>, hover a chat, and click one of the status buttons that appear:

To unmark a chat, you can hold <kbd>Ctrl/Cmd</kbd>, hover a chat in the sidebar, and uncheck the status that the chat uses, or you can use the dropdowns detailed above and click **Clear Status**.

### Viewing all chats

To view all chats regardless of their statuses, hover the project or worktree that contains the chats and click the chats button:
