You can change these in the grid by clicking the cell and choosing a new value. Changes are saved via the API and the row updates without a full page reload.
Status
Click the Status cell (e.g. "Draft" or "Pending"). A dropdown opens.
Choose Published, Draft, Pending, Scheduled, or Trash.
The post updates immediately; the grid and any dashboard stats stay in sync.
Use case: Approve pending posts, move a draft to Published, or send to Trash. All from the list.
Author
Click the Author cell (avatar and name). A dropdown or popover lists site authors.
Select another user. The post is reassigned and the cell shows the new author.
Use case: Reassign drafts to a different writer or correct attribution without opening the editor.
Date
Click the Date cell. A date picker opens.
Choose a new date (and time if supported). The post publish/created date updates.
Use case: Reschedule or backdate posts from the list.
Categories and labels
Categories: Click the Category (or primary taxonomy) cell. A multi-select opens. Add or remove categories; save; the row reflects the new selection.
Labels / tags: Click the Labels or Tags cell. Multi-select for that taxonomy opens. Change tags/labels and save. The cell updates.
Tip: If a cell does not open a control, that column may be read-only in your setup. Status, Author, and Date are usually editable.
In Step 4 we will use row actions (Edit, Duplicate, Delete) and optionally customize columns.
