Modify the status of a file so others are aware of its state in the workflow.

1. In the Content Library, click a file.
2. In the Resource Drawer, click the Status drop-down menu, and select the status you want to apply to the file.

Change the status of multiple files using bulk change.

1. In the Content Library, select the files, folders, or maps you want to modify.
2. Right-click a file and select Bulk Change > Metadata.
3. If you don't want to include the dependencies of a given map, like its child topics and submaps, clear the Include dependencies check box.
   Important:

   The Include dependencies option only includes the direct dependencies of the map. It does not include binary files (non-text files like images) present in the map.

4. If you don't want to change the resource-only files in a map, clear the Include resource-only files check box.
   Tip:

   For example, the resource-only files are your warehouse topics that have the @processing-role="resource-only" attribute assigned to their <topicref> elements. They are appended in a map but are not included in the output.

5. Select the Status check box.
6. In the Status drop-down menu, select the status you want to apply.
7. Click Save.
