# Entry types

> Shape the catalog of entry types your workspace uses — rename, restyle, disable, or add your own.

Every entry has a type — note, task, project, and so on — and the catalog of types belongs to your workspace. Owners shape it under **Settings → Entry types**; members see the same catalog read-only. Each type shows a count of the entries you can access.

## Restyle any type

For every type in the catalog you can:

* Rename its label and plural label
* Write or edit its description
* Pick an icon from the icon set
* Pick an accent color

These changes apply everywhere the type appears — the New entry picker, views, and entry pages.

## Turn a type off

Each type has a switch. Turning a type off removes it from the New entry picker, so no one creates new entries of that type. Existing entries keep working exactly as before — nothing is hidden or deleted.

<Note>
  Core types — note, task, event, dataset, and artifact — can't be turned off or deleted.
</Note>

## Add a custom type

Add your own types for the things your studio tracks — a "Campaign" or a "Vendor", for example. A custom type is a regular markdown entry type: give it a name, icon, color, and description, then add the fields it needs (text, dates, statuses, connections to other entries).

### Put a custom type on Calendar, Timeline, or Kanban

Views pick up custom types through field roles. When you edit a field, you can give it a role:

| Role                    | What it unlocks                                                  |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Date (primary or start) | The type's entries appear on **Calendar** and **Timeline**       |
| Connection              | The field links to entries of another type                       |
| Grouping                | The field becomes a **Kanban** column axis and a group-by option |

## Edit fields

* On built-in types, the built-in fields are fixed — you can't change or remove them. Fields you added yourself are editable.
* Once a field holds values on real entries, its name and type lock.

## Adopt a type

If your workspace contains entries whose type isn't in the catalog — for example, from imported content — the page offers to adopt it. Adopting registers the type so you can style it and manage it like any other.

## Delete a custom type

Deleting a custom type converts its existing entries to another type of your choice — note by default — so no entries are lost. Only custom types can be deleted; core types can't.
