Difference Between 'Needs Verification' and 'In Progress'

Learn the key differences between 'Needs Verification' and 'In Progress' statuses in Zendesk.

What is the difference between 'Needs Verification' and 'In Progress' in Zendesk?

The 'Needs Verification' status means an article needs a review for accuracy based on verification rules, while 'In Progress' indicates changes have been made but not yet finalized.

'In Progress' articles are considered drafts and need to be submitted for review, published, archived, or reverted to a previous version to be removed from this status. Understanding these distinctions helps manage your content workflow effectively.
