# 10.1. Workflows in General

<p class="callout info"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Workflows allow to keep **track of the information status** in Pure. For example, an incomplete publication entry has the workflow status *Entry in progress*, while a validated publication has the status *Validated*.</span></p>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The ‘label’ under the record shows the workflow status (in this case it is *Validated*).</span>
