# Record Statuses ### What do the different record statuses mean? **In Progress** * In progress is used for any record NOT in a provisional or approved status. It denotes records that are still being worked on and have not yet had a snapshot saved. **Provisional** * Provisional status is used by curators to mark their Interpretation as complete after saving an Evaluation Summary * Provisional Interpretations created by Affiliations are considered ready for their expert review **Approved** * Approved status is used after Provisional Classification has passed the review and approval process * The option to Save as Approved appears after saving an Interpretation as Provisional * Some Affiliations may require final ratification by a designated Approver, in which case the curator must select the name of the Approver from a pre-populated pull-down * Users working independently can choose to Approve their Interpretations whenever they wish. #### Approval Process Workflow ![](/files/kWtgvxCoX4rmNjOWUkPu) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
