How To Set Your Status As Away On Asana

Do you want to show that you’re currently unavailable in Asana? Or do you want people to leave you alone on the app for some time? In any case, you can display an away status on your profile on the app. Follow our quick guide below, and we’ll show you how to do so.

In Asana, other workspace members can view your profile to check if you’re currently online, working, or available for a chat. In this way, people can know when it’s a good time to strike up a conversation or a discussion with you.

However, we understand that there are times when you don’t want people bothering you. You might want to go on a vacation undisturbed or focus on your work instead of replying to chats.

Thankfully, you can display yourself as unavailable on the app. You can set an away status on your profile to let people know that you’re currently not active on your account.

Here’s our guide about updating your profile and setting your status as “away” on Asana.

How to update your Asana profile to away

If you’re going out of the office for quite some time, you can set your status in Asana to away. In this way, other workspace members can know that you’re unavailable at the moment.

You can update the status on your Asana profile, whether you’re on your phone or desktop. Check our tutorials below, and we’ll cover the steps to do so on both devices.
