# How to update a case status
You can update the case status either from the individual case page or from the **Cases table**.
**Finalized** case status can be applied only from the individual case page to prevent unintended [case completion](https://help.connected.illumina.com/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/case-completion-and-reporting).
### On the [individual case page](https://help.connected.illumina.com/emedgene/emedgene-analyze-manual/reviewing_a_case/individual_case_page)
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open the case page.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
In the top bar, select the dropdown (:chevron-down:) icon next to the current case status.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Select the new status you want to apply.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
