Active and Inactive Documents
=============================
A document can be set as "Active" or "Inactive", which alters the icon in the third column. These
are mostly intended for your convenience as they will indicate whether the document is meant to be
included in the manuscript or not. You can think of it as a whole document out-take. It is a less
radical option than to move it to **Archive**.
Inactive documents are by default excluded from your manuscript, but you can override this.
See :ref:`docs_ui_manuscript_selection` for more details.
.. _docs_usage_project_status:
Importance and Status
=====================
Each document or folder in your project can have either a "Status" or "Importance" labels set.
These are labels and icons that you control and define yourself, and novelWriter doesn't use them
for anything. You can modify these labels in **Project Settings**.
See :ref:`docs_ui_projects_settings_status` for more details.
The "Status" labels are intended to tag a novel document as for instance a draft or as completed,
and the "Importance" labels are intended to tag character notes, or other project notes, as for
instance a main, major, or minor character or story element.
Whether a document uses a "Status" or "Importance" label depends on which root folder it lives in.
If it's in a **Novel** type folder, it uses the "Status" label, otherwise it uses an "Importance"
label.
