Below is a list of all the statuses your project and files can be in, as well as a definition of each status:

New

It's pretty self-explanatory, but this is a newly created project that has not yet been seen by our moderation team (It must have at least one file to be reviewed). 

Changes Required

Your project is well on its way to approval, but our moderation team wants you to change or update some things before it is approved. You will receive specific notes from our moderation team on what needs to be updated.

Changes Made

When you make the changes required from moderation and resubmit, your project will enter this status.

Approved

The project page has been approved. Your project will become available to the CurseForge community to download, once your file is approved as well.

Rejected

Your project has not been approved. You will receive details specific to why your project has been rejected, but it can not be re-evaluated or approved at a later date.

Inactive

Your project will enter this status if it has not been updated for an extended period of time. If your project has been marked as Inactive and you would like to reclaim it, please contact our support team.

These are projects that our moderation team has marked as no longer being actively updated. If your project has been marked as Abandoned and you would like to reclaim it, please contact our support team.
