Apptoberfest 2025: Bake the Perfect Project Update Cake with Advanced Status Labels 🍰

It’s Apptoberfest season and we’re serving something special from the Izymes kitchen!
Projects can feel like baking a complicated cake: the right ingredients, the right order, and the perfect timing.
But when statuses are inconsistent or unclear, the result can be… a collapsed soufflé.

In this fun cooking-show parody, our “chef” tries to bake a Project Update Cake:

  • First attempt (messy)
    Ingredients labeled with confusing statuses like done???, In Prog, Completed(ish).
    Steps marked nearly complete, we’ll do later, Done! — but nothing matches.
    → Result: a deflated cake and a deflated team.

  • Second attempt (delicious)
    Enter Advanced Status Labels: sleek pill-style labels with consistent categories and colors.
    Ingredients are clearly To-do, In Progress, Done.
    → Result: a perfect cake and perfect project clarity.

The secret ingredient? Consistency.

About Advanced Status Labels

Advanced Status Labels lets you:

  • Create custom categories (Status, Priority, Department, etc.).

  • Use clean, pill-style labels anywhere on a page — not just in tables.

  • Update in one click with dropdowns for easy, accurate changes.

  • Track and manage label usage across your workspace for rock-solid reporting.

It’s the easiest way to keep Confluence pages clean, accurate, and visually sharp.

That cake is looking great @Sean Manwarring _Izymes_ 

I've added your demo to the unofficial Apptoberfest Board, that makes it easier to find and browse all the entires. Let me know if you want me to make any changes.
