## Statuses

| Status      | Meaning                                          |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `draft`     | Editable; not yet in the approval inbox          |
| `submitted` | Waiting for an approver; read-only for you       |
| `approved`  | Locked; hours can become WIP                     |
| `rejected`  | Returned to you — edit, then re-submit or recall |

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open My Timesheets">
    In the sidebar under **Time Tracking**, open **My Timesheets**. Choose **This Week** or another week row.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add time entries">
    On the week editor, add rows with project, task, hours, and an optional **Client-visible note**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save draft">
    Use **Save draft** while you are still editing. Draft and rejected weeks stay editable.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit for approval">
    Click **Submit for approval**, confirm **Submit timesheet?**, then **Submit**. Status becomes `submitted`.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You can also submit several weeks from the list with **Submit selected**.

## After rejection

If an approver rejects the week:

1. Read their reason on the week (or **View Approval Trail**).
2. Fix hours or notes.
3. Either **Submit for approval** again, or **Recall to draft** to clear the rejected state and keep editing.

<Note>
  **Recall to draft** is only available when the status is `rejected`.
