# Severities

Heurio Extension includes a severity rating system that helps categorize and prioritize feedback placed on website elements. This guide provides an overview of the severity system and its use in Heurio's workflow.

## Severities

* **Neutral (Blue):** The default severity, used for basic opinions, note-taking, or conversation starters.
* **Low (Green):** Indicates minor issues with minimal impact on the website's functionality or design.
* **Medium (Yellow):** Denotes issues with moderate impact, requiring attention to avoid potential negative effects.
* **High (Orange):** Highlights significant issues that can affect website performance or user experience substantially.
* **Critical (Red):** Represents urgent, mission-critical problems that demand immediate resolution to prevent severe consequences.

## Organizing feedback

The severity levels help categorize feedback, making it easier to prioritize and address in a timely manner. For instance, critical issues take precedence over medium or low-severity ones.

## Collaborating with the team:

Team members can view the severity levels of each heurio, facilitating collaboration and ensuring that all feedback is addressed efficiently.
