# Track & Document Work (User Story Workflow)

## Overview

This article demonstrates the second step of the Executing User Stories Workflow process: **Track & Document Work**. Once a User Story reaches the **In Development** state, Developers can track and manage work done on the User Story. For more information about executing User Stories, please refer to [User Story Workflow (Developer Guide)](/v10/docs/user-story-workflow-developer-guide).

1. Once the User Story is **In Development**, click on the User Story.
2. This action will display a detailed view of the User Story (e.g., **LOD-US-000001**), with the current status and workflow stages.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2026-07-06_09h41_00.png)The following table describes each User Story state:

| User Story State | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Not Started | The User Story has been created, but no work has begun. |
| In Development | Development work is actively in progress. Changes made are tracked under this story. |
| Pending Review | Work is complete, and the story is awaiting the project manager's review or approval. |
| Changes Requested | The reviewer has requested changes. The story is sent back to development for updates. |
| On Hold | Work on the story is temporarily paused due to blockers, dependencies, or deprioritization. |
| Approved | The User Story has passed review and is approved for deployment or further processing. |

2. When work begins, **a User Story header** appears at the top of the development workspace. Any new changes (e.g., flows, forms) are automatically saved under the active story.

- If needed, changes can also be made without associating them with a specific User Story. This offers flexibility for quick fixes or exploratory changes that do not require traceability.

## **Managing User Story Associations**

Each entity within a Project (such as Flows, Forms, and Rules) includes a **Manage User Stories** action, accessible from the entity’s action menu. This allows User Stories to be linked or unlinked from the selected entity.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/image%20(3)(2).png)

Selecting this action opens a dialog with two reports:![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/image%20(4)(1).png)

1. **Associate with User Stories**
  - Displays user stories currently in **"In Development"** or **"Changes Requested"** states.
  - Allows associating or disassociating stories with the selected entity by selecting or deselecting checkboxes.
    - Click **Save** to confirm any changes.
2. **Committed with User Stories**
  - Displays all user stories that have been committed to the Deployment Server and are associated with the selected entity.
    - These associations are locked and cannot be modified, preserving deployment traceability.

**Managing User Story Associations ensures complete visibility and control over which entities are tied to which stories, both during active development and after deployment.**
