5.2 Extended use of TODO keywords ================================= By default, marked TODO entries have one of only two states: TODO and DONE. Org mode allows you to classify TODO items in more complex ways with _TODO keywords_ (stored in ‘org-todo-keywords’). With special setup, the TODO keyword system can work differently in different files. Note that tags are another way to classify headlines in general and TODO items in particular (Tags).
· Workflow states From TODO to DONE in steps · TODO types I do this, Fred does the rest · Multiple sets in one file Mixing it all, and still finding your way · Fast access to TODO states Single letter selection of a state · Per-file keywords Different files, different requirements · Faces for TODO keywords Highlighting states · TODO dependencies When one task needs to wait for others
