# Create status badge sets for your Confluence site

To create status badge sets for your Confluence site, a site administrator opens **Global settings** in the Macros sidebar, goes to **Status badges**, adds a set or copies a built-in one, names its statuses and saves. Editors then see your sets first, under **Your organisation**, when they load a scheme in any Status badge macro.

---

## Before you start

* You must be a Confluence site administrator.
* You can create up to 20 sets, each with up to 20 statuses.
* Each set needs at least one status with a title before it can be saved.

## Steps

1. Open the app from **Apps** in the Confluence top bar: **Capable Formatting**, or **Capable** and then **Macros** in the suite.
2. In the sidebar, under **Manage**, choose **Global settings**, then open the **Status badges** tab.
3. Click **Add set**, or pick one from **Copy a built-in set...** to start from an existing scheme.
4. Type a name in **Set name**, for example Contract stage.
5. For each status, enter a **Status title** and choose its appearance colour. Use **Add status** for more, and **Move up** or **Move down** to order them.
6. Click **Save changes**.

## What happens next

The next time anyone opens a Status badge macro, your sets are listed first under **Your organisation**, above the **Built-in** schemes, and they can search them by name. Editors can still change the statuses on an individual badge. Badges already on pages are never changed when you edit or delete a set.
