## Situations that override the table

-   **Read-only or archived site** – nobody can make changes.
-   **Planning phase** – status updates, status comments and quality status are turned off for everyone until the site moves to the Production phase. Sitedrive Mobile doesn't open the site either, because sites that are not in production can't take status updates.
-   **Viewing an older version** in version history – everything is read-only until you return to the current version.
-   **Edit lock** switched on – you can't edit, but you can still report progress.
