The In Progress status helps you show that work has started without sending a task to review. You can set it from task details or by dragging on boards.
Open a task and click the Status dropdown.
Select In Progress.
(Board) Drag a task from Open to In Progress on Kanban boards.
Keep working; when ready, move to For Review (or straight to Completed if your permissions allow).
If a reviewer Rejects the task, it returns to Open (not In Progress).
Notes
Subtasks moving to In Progress, For Review, or Completed automatically move the main task to In Progress.
Tasks in In Progress appear under Due Today or Upcoming based on the due date.
Summary: Use In Progress to signal active work and keep boards accurate without triggering reviews.
