# Understanding the publishing job status and status details

The publishing job table provides visibility into the lifecycle of each publishing job with two set of statuses: the status of the publishing job itself and the statuses of the [entities](https://doc.sitecore.com/xmc/en/developers/xm-cloud/en/publishing-to-experience-edge.html#UUID-f65e6a47-36b8-39f9-83c9-12023f2a78ca_section-idm4539091737702433806080823154) included in the publishing job.

The main publishing job status labels include:

- *Queued* - the job is waiting in line to be processed.
- *Running* - the job is actively publishing content.
- *Completed* - the job finished successfully with no failed items. A job is marked as *completed* only when both the Edge cache has been cleared and the webhook execution has been sent from Experience Edge.
- *Completed with warnings* - the job completed, but some items failed to publish on or deleted from Edge. A job is marked as *completed with warnings* only when both the Edge cache has been cleared and the webhook execution has been sent from Experience Edge.
- *Failed* - the entire job failed to execute properly.
- *Canceling* - the publishing job is in the process of being stopped.
- *Canceled* - the job has been canceled.

For most of the publishing job statuses, the table also displays how many items fall into each category of the following entities status details:

- *Skipped* - certain items were intentionally or automatically bypassed during publishing. An item is skipped when it is not [available for publishing](https://doc.sitecore.com/sai/en/users/sitecoreai/build-pages/publishing-pages-and-referenced-items/schedule-publishing-availability-of-a-page.html "Schedule publishing availability of a page"), or not in the final state of an [approval workflow](https://doc.sitecore.com/sai/en/users/sitecoreai/build-pages/publishing-pages-and-referenced-items/move-an-item-through-the-workflow.html "Move an item through the workflow").
- *Published* / *Unpublished* - indicates how many items outcome for items within a job.
- *Failed* - items that failed to be either published on or deleted from Edge.

> [!note]
> In the Status details column, some items are counted twice. This is because Experience Edge reports on the publication status of the item for the presentation and for the content independently.
