2 Library object statuses and icons

Learn about the different icons that represent object statuses in a library study.

Depending on how a library user modifies an object in their library study, that object might have a different status each time.

Note:

An object's status can be updated irrespective of the state of its associated study version. For example, you can mark an object as Approved even though its associated study version is still in the Testing container.

Object status icon	Description
	Indicates the new version of an object. By default, when you create an object, that object has a Draft status. When an object has a status of Draft, you can edit or delete it. You can also edit its description and associated tags. An object with a status of Draft cannot be imported into a live study.
	Indicates that an object is ready to be tested. After you create an object, you can mark it as Ready to Test. When the object is marked as Ready to Test, its status is updated to Testing. During this phase of the lifecycle, if the object fails testing, then its status can be updated to Rejected. An object with a status of Testing cannot be imported into a live study.
	Indicates that an object did not pass testing. An object in a state of Rejected can be moved back to Ready to Test or Draft. An object with a status of Rejected cannot be imported into a live study. You cannot update a published object's status to Rejected. You must first move its status back to Approved before you can reject the object.
	Indicates that an object has passed testing and can be published in a live study version. After you successfully test an object, you can mark it as Approved. An approved object can be further published or sent back to Testing, or you can change it status to Rejected. An object with a status of Approved cannot be imported in a live study, but you can publish it in your library. You can create a new version of an object in a state of Approved and further modify and test the new version of the same approved object.
	Indicates that an object is eligible for importing it into a live study. Once an object is published, it has a unique system-generated object ID that is not displayed on the UI. You can create a new version of an object that is published and further modify and test it. You can also update a published object to a status of Archived or Approved.
	Indicates that an object is archived. You can update an archived object's status to Draft or Published again. If you create a newer version of an object, you can always mark that previous version as Archived.
