Hi Stephanie, In addition to the great information provided by fellow Workfront users here, I will add in there is one more portion to this. A work item (Task or Issue) has 2 statuses, one being the visible status (New -> In Progress -> Closed for examples.) and the other being the Owner's Status. You'll notice if you assign a task to a person, that person clicks Work On It, the Task status doesn't change, but when you change the Task Status manually to say Closed, the task will still appear on the person's My Work / My Home, and the Assigned To box remains blue, instead of turning yellow, indicating that the task is still active, not actually complete. So, while technically the Owner Status can change the Task Status (when hitting Complete) the Task status cannot change the Owner status. Only the owner can indicate whether or not they started the task, worked on the task, or completed the task. Other people can change the Task Status, just not the Owner Status. The Work On It button is primarily to indicate whether or not the owner has actually accepted/completed the work (which is why it shows up in My Work) and set the owner's commit date. I hope this info helps you all out! Thanks, Dustin Martin Assigned Support Engineer Workfront
