# Statuses

> Understanding form statuses and state transitions

Every form has a status that indicates its current state:

| Status        | Description                                | Can Change? |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ----------- |
| **draft**     | Form is being prepared, not yet sent       | Yes         |
| **pending**   | Form has been sent, waiting for completion | Yes         |
| **completed** | Contact has submitted the form             | No          |
| **declined**  | Contact has declined to fill the form      | No          |
| **processed** | Form response has been processed/reviewed  | No          |

## Status Transitions

* **Draft → Pending**: When you send the form to the contact
* **Pending → Completed**: When contact submits the form
* **Pending → Declined**: When contact chooses to decline
* **Completed → Processed**: When you mark the response as processed
* **Pending → Expired**: When the form passes its expiration date

<Warning>
  Once a form reaches **completed**, **declined**, or **processed** status, the contact can no longer modify their response. The form becomes read-only.
