Your listing’s Publishing Status controls its visibility across Heritage Web Publications. Knowing what each status means helps you manage when—and if—clients can find you.


1. Key Publishing Statuses

New listings not yet live on any Publication.

Active

Pending Payment

Awaiting payment before becoming Active (sponsor listings only).

Expired

Sponsorship term ended; listing removed until renewed.

Deleted

Marked for removal and no longer visible (data retained).

Transferred

Ownership changed; now managed by another account.

2. Where to View Your Status
