# Move an application to another stage

Click Move to on the application, or drag its card on the board. To move several at once, tick them in the list. Some stages first ask for details.

## From the application page

1. Open the application.
2. Click “Move to” at the top and choose the stage. You can also click the “Stage” under the name.
3. The “Change Status” panel opens. Fill in what it asks, then click “Change Status”.

## From the list

1. Click the actions button (**⋮**) at the end of the application's line and choose “Change application status”.
2. Choose the stage in “Assign application to stage”.
3. Click “Change Status”.

## Move several applications at once

1. In the “List” view, tick the box in front of each application.
2. Click “Move to” at the top of the list.
3. Choose the stage and click “Change Status”.

## On the board

1. At the top of “Applications”, click “Board”.
2. Drag the card to the column of the new stage.

On a phone or with the keyboard, click the actions button (**⋮**) on the card and choose “Move to”.

The card moves at once, and a message offers “Undo” if you made a mistake. When the new stage asks for details, the “Change Status” panel opens first.

The Disqualified column is at the end and folded. Click “Show” to open it, or drop a card on it as it is. Each column shows 20 cards: click “Show more” at the bottom to see more.

## What the panel asks

- When the stage has message templates: whether to e-mail the candidate. See [E-mail a candidate when you move their application](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/email-a-candidate-when-you-move-them).
- For the Hired stage: the hiring date, the end of the evaluation period and the salary. See [Hire a candidate](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/hire-a-candidate).
- For any other stage: nothing. The application just moves.


## Common questions

### Does the candidate get an e-mail?

Only if you turn on “Send notification email?” in the panel. Skileo never e-mails a candidate on its own when their application moves.

### Can I move an application back?

Yes, to any stage, at any time. On the board, “Undo” puts it back at once, except for a move to or from Hired.

### Why can't I move applications?

You need permission to change applications. Ask the “Business owner” of your workspace. See [Who can see and change applications](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/who-can-see-applications).
