Introduction
This article guides you through the process of changing the status of jobs created workpapers added in Tax Sorted. It provides a brief description of each job and workpaper status and explains how you can update the status of any job or workpaper.
Job Status
Work in Progress - As soon as you create a job, the job will be in Work in Progress status untill you change it further.
Ready for Review - After preparing the job—once documents and workpapers are complete—you can update the status to Ready for Review. This signals to the reviewer that the job is ready for their assessment.
Finalised - When the job is fully completed, you can change its status to Finalised. This locks the job, preventing any further modifications or actions.
