# Introduction

## What does it do?

This TYPO3 extension adds content planning capabilities to the TYPO3 backend:
assign a **status** to pages (and other records), **assign** responsible editors
and leave **comments** with todos — all directly in the page tree, record list and file list.

Ideal for content migrations, editorial workflows or any process where you need to track
who is working on what.
