Which of the following is NOT a listed use case for the status column?

• A. Differentiate between items
• B. Display if a task is completed, being worked on, or needs attention
• C. Mark items by priority
• D. Archive completed boards

Answer: (D)

The status column is used to show the current state of each item in a workflow, so you can quickly see where work stands and how it’s progressing. It’s ideal for differentiating between items by their state and for indicating whether a task is completed, in progress, or needs attention. Using it to mark items by priority isn’t its primary purpose, since priority is handled by a separate column type designed to express urgency or importance. Archiving completed boards, on the other hand, is a board-level action rather than a column-level use; you don’t rely on the status column to archive boards. So the status column’s role is to reflect the state of work, not to archive boards.
