# Update a project's progress stage

Prepare an explicit change to a project's manually maintained progress stage. Reviewing the current and proposed values helps avoid changing the wrong job.

Help me update a project's progress stage. Ask for the project and new stage, show the current value, and prepare the change for my approval.

## When to use it

A job has moved to another production stage and its saved status needs updating.

## What you need

An existing project, the intended stage, and permission to update the project.

## What you’ll get

- The resolved project and its current saved stage.

- A stage update that waits for your approval.

## How to use it

Open the prompt in Millbase, sign up or sign in if needed, then review the editable draft before sending.

Use a project number when names are similar. A stage update records your decision; it does not verify that the underlying work is finished.
