# Mark a group as active

> Change a new group's status from Planned to Active once it starts running.

A new group starts as **Planned**. Mark it as **Active** once its classes begin, so its status shows that it's running.

By default, owners and admins can mark a group as active.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Don't see this page or button? Your role doesn't include it. Ask your center's owner or an admin to give you the role you need. See [I can't see a menu item or button](https://help.cohort.uz/en/troubleshooting/cant-see-a-menu-item-or-button.md).

## Steps

**1. Open the group's actions**

In the sidebar, select **Groups**, select the group, then select the **Group actions** menu: the ⋯ button at the top right of the group's page.

**2. Mark it as active**

Select **Mark as active**. There's nothing to confirm: the group's status changes to **Active** straight away.

**Mark as active** is only in the menu while the group is **Planned**.

Marking a group as active changes only its status. Its classes, students and invoices stay as they are.
