2.4. Asset Status
2.4.1. Status Management
Every asset, including packages, can be assigned a status. Unlike categories, assets can only have one status. The use of statuses is optional and does not affect the execution of assets; however, statuses may be used to compile packages when using selectors.
Statuses may help to manage the lifecycle of assets by assigning assets a status that indicates its current state; for example, draft, review, and production demonstrate these types of state.
If the status for an entire package is changed, it changes the status for every asset in the package.
