Recipe statuses: Draft, Ready, Published, Archived

Every recipe carries a status that tells you where it is in its life — still being worked out, proven, or set aside. Here's what each one means.

The four statuses

• Draft — a work in progress. You're still figuring it out.
• Ready — tried and trusted. (You may see this called "tested" behind the scenes; on the recipe it shows as Ready.)
• Published — finalized and ready to lean on.
• Archived — set aside. Still in your library for reference, but out of the everyday flow.

Changing a status

The status badge on a recipe is tap-to-cycle — tap it and the recipe advances to the next status. It's not a dropdown menu; each tap moves it along.

The one rule worth knowing

Status mostly just keeps you organized — with a single exception:

Heads up: You can't start a pour or production run from an Archived recipe. If you want to make it again, move it out of Archived first.
