# In progress and catalog numbers

A track you are still writing waits in In progress. When it is finished, it moves to a list and gets a catalog number.

## In progress

A track you are still writing is **in progress**. It only needs a working title. It has no number and no platform statuses yet.

Open **In progress** in the sidebar to see these tracks.

## Mark a track ready

When the track is finished, open it and click **Mark ready**. The track moves into the catalog: into the list you chose when you added it, or into Unfiled. It gets a number and a status for every platform of that list.



To send a track back, right-click it and choose **Back to in progress**. For several tracks, use the bar in [Edit many tracks](../edit-many-tracks/).

## Catalog numbers

The **#** is a label that a track gets once and keeps. Moving or deleting other tracks never changes it. So file names like `42_Sweet_Bossa_Nova.wav` always match.



tracklog continues your last number: `42` then `43`, `2026-001` then `2026-002`. To start a new series, type the first number by hand.
