post statuses
Every post has one of seven statuses. Admins set the status; the public board renders it as a badge and the roadmap groups by it.
the statuses
Section titled “the statuses”| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
open | new, no decision yet, default for new posts. |
under_review | the team is looking at it; no commitment yet. |
planned | committed to ship, appears on the roadmap. |
in_progress | being worked on right now, appears on the roadmap. |
shipped | done, appears on the roadmap and is the final state. |
declined | not going to ship, hidden from the public list by default. |
duplicate | merged into another post, votes and comments moved to target. |
changing status
Section titled “changing status”Open the post in the admin dashboard and pick a new status. Spirby fires off an email to anyone who subscribed to the post on every change.
The duplicate status is set automatically when you merge a post. Setting it manually is allowed but unusual.
roadmap behavior
Section titled “roadmap behavior”Three statuses show on the public roadmap: planned, in_progress, shipped. The other four do not. You can hide an individual post from the roadmap with the hide from roadmap toggle on the post page, useful when something is technically planned but not ready to share.
changelog auto-flip
Section titled “changelog auto-flip”When you publish a changelog entry that links to a post, spirby flips that post to shipped automatically. See publish a changelog entry.
