Title: Status
Order: 6
---
Spectre.Console can display information about long running tasks in the console.
<img src="assets/images/status.gif" style="max-width: 100%;margin-bottom:20px;">
If the current terminal isn't considered "interactive", such as when running
in a continuous integration system, or the terminal can't display
ANSI control sequence, any progress will be displayed in a simpler way.
# Usage
```csharp
// Synchronous
AnsiConsole.Status()
.Start("Thinking...", ctx =>
{
// Simulate some work
AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("Doing some work...");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
// Update the status and spinner
ctx.Status("Thinking some more");
ctx.Spinner(Spinner.Known.Star);
ctx.SpinnerStyle(Style.Parse("green"));
// Simulate some work
AnsiConsole.MarkupLine("Doing some more work...");
Thread.Sleep(2000);
});
```
## Asynchronous progress
If you prefer to use async/await, you can use `StartAsync` instead of `Start`.
```csharp
// Asynchronous
await AnsiConsole.Status()
.StartAsync("Thinking...", async ctx =>
{
// Omitted
});
```
# Configure
```csharp
AnsiConsole.Status()
.AutoRefresh(false)
.Spinner(Spinner.Known.Star)
.SpinnerStyle(Style.Parse("green bold"))
.Start("Thinking...", ctx =>
{
// Omitted
ctx.Refresh();
});
```
