A Study moves through defined statuses — from first draft to archived record. Each status controls editing and whether participants can join. Public listing is a separate, opt-in setting.
Status flow

Open for enrollment and collecting data. Not listed publicly unless you turn on public visibility in the Invitations tab.
Data collection ended. No new participants can join; existing data are available for analysis.
Temporarily suspended. Participants cannot join while paused; existing data are preserved and the study can be resumed.
Closed. Participants cannot join; no further changes, retained only for records.
