Vague information for Campaign Status

Created by: clnlf

Offending URL: https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/stable/campaign/set-up/ Section: Set-up > Campaign status It says:

Assigning a status to your campaign makes it possible to update campaign activities in the database and track how the campaign is proceeding.

What does this mean? If I knew more specifics I would put in a pull request, but unfortunately I'm not sure how 'campaign activities in the database' are affected by the campaign status
