## Statuses

Each reader in **ARC Tracker** has one status:

- **Applied:** they asked for a copy and you haven't decided yet.
- **Invited:** you've invited them to read.
- **Sent:** they have their copy.
- **Pending** or **Asked for Extension:** still reading.
- **Reviewed:** they posted a review.
- **Not Reviewed**, **No Response**, **Ghosted** or **Declined:** the ARC ended without a review.
- **Rejected:** you turned down their application.

## What happens when you change a status

Change a status from the dropdown in the **Status** column.

- **Reviewed** fills in today as the review date, if there isn't one yet. Picking a star rating also marks the reader as Reviewed.
- **Sent** fills in today as the sent date, if there isn't one yet.
- Moving someone from **Applied** to **Invited** offers to add them to your mailing list, then opens **Send ARC**.
- **Rejected** offers to send a rejection email, using the ARC Application Declined template by default.

Changing a status to Sent by hand doesn't start your ARC Sent email sequences. They start when you send the ARC from Author's Toolbox.

To change many readers at once, tick their rows and use the bar that appears. You can set **Status**, **Platform**, **Book** or **Due Date**, or archive them.

## Summary cards

- **Total ARCs:** every reader shown.
- **Applied:** waiting for your decision.
- **Completed:** marked Reviewed.
- **Reading:** marked Sent.
- **Pending:** Invited, Pending or Asked for Extension.
- **Ghosted:** No Response, Ghosted, Not Reviewed or Declined.
- **Rejected:** applications you turned down.
- **Overdue:** the due date has passed and the reader isn't Reviewed, Rejected or Applied.
- **Response Rate:** Reviewed readers divided by everyone past the Invited stage, not counting Applied or Rejected.

The cards follow the **Book** and pen name filters and **Show archived**. Search, status and file filters only change the table.

## File Delivered column

This shows whether the reader has downloaded their watermarked copy: **Downloaded**, **Not Downloaded** or **Expired**. Download links last 30 days. If a reader got their copy another way, edit the row and tick **Mark as downloaded**.
