Determine a WBS element's status

Choose Project, WBS.
Select the WBS element whose status you want to view or change.
Click the General tab, then view the Status field in the lower left section of the tab.

Choose from four status types for WBS elements: Planned, Active, Inactive, and What-If.
Note:
- If a WBS element belongs to a parent WBS element, the element has the same status as its parent element.
