Changing project status requires the Project Design and Setup user privilege.
Development Mode
Development mode is used when designing, setting up, and initially testing the project.
Do not input real data into the project until it is in production
Development mode allows for instruments and other setup features to be easily changed, which means that it erases test data without warning. Real data can still be used for testing purposes.
Production Mode
A project in production had additional checks in place to ensure data is not lost or erased. As a result, changing the project’s design or setup is more difficult.
Always move to production before using the project to collect real data

At the bottom, click ‘Move project to production’
