Information about the current status of a protocol is found in several locations:

• The Status Bar at the top of the protocol shows the current status of the protocol.  "Draft Submission Pending" indicates that this protocol has not yet been submitted.  Once submitted, the Current Status will change to "Review Pending" and once approved, the Current Status will show as "Approved."

• A more detailed view of next steps in the review and approval process can be found in the Requirements panel. Steps in the Requirements panel showing as in green as Ready are must be completed before the protocol can move on.  Steps showing in ready cannot be completed until the tasks showing as Ready have been completed.
