• Key Concepts: 
  Status management service is a component of SAP’s Knowledge Management (KM) Content Management. It is used to manage the status of documents and other content stored in the KM repository. It allows users to assign different statuses to documents, such as “draft”, “approved”, “published”, and “archived”. This helps to ensure that only the most up-to-date and relevant content is available for users to access.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the status management service, users must first create a status profile in the KM Content Management system. This profile will define the different statuses that can be assigned to documents and other content. Once the profile is created, users can assign statuses to documents as they are created or edited. The status of a document can be changed at any time by selecting a new status from the profile.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a status profile, it is important to consider how many statuses are necessary for your organization. Too many statuses can make it difficult for users to understand which one applies to a particular document. It is also important to consider how often statuses will need to be changed, as this will affect how often users need to update their profiles.
