{% data variables.product.prodname_projects_v2 %} includes built-in workflows that you can use to update the **Status** of items based on certain events. For example, you can automatically set the status to **Todo** when an item is added to your project, close issues when the issue's status in your project is changed, or set the status to **Done** when an issue is closed.
|
|
|
|
When your project initializes, two workflows are enabled by default: When issues or pull requests in your project are closed, their status is set to **Done**, and when pull requests in your project are merged, their status is set to **Done**.
|
|
|
|
You can also configure workflows to automatically archive items when they meet set criteria and to automatically add items from a repository when they match a filter. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/issues/planning-and-tracking-with-projects/automating-your-project/archiving-items-automatically) and [AUTOTITLE](/issues/planning-and-tracking-with-projects/automating-your-project/adding-items-automatically).
