Changing the status of a cell (Maritime Charting)

As data is reviewed in an area, the status of an individual cell or a group of cells can be changed to reflect the current status using the Change Cell Status tool. When a cell's status is changed, its color changes. You can choose what color to use for a cell's status using the Symbol Selector. For example, in the grid on the right, cells C2, D2, E2, D3, and E3 have had their statuses changed.
