Am I correct in saying that:

1. There are three status options: “_draft_”, “_listed_”, and “_unlisted_”.
2. “Draft” is always present, while “listed” and “unlisted” can be removed.

### Example

```yml
# album.yml
status:
  draft: true
  listed: true

```

If I try to programmatically set “_unlisted_”, the panel will show an error because “_unlisted_” doesn’t exist.

Is there a way to find out which status settings are available for a page so that I can check for their presence?

### Background

I am working on a feature that synchronizes the status of a parent page with its children. My goal is to unlist all child pages if the parent page is unlisted (or deleted).

Awesome @texnixe!

Is this availbale at the `$page` object? Or do I need to load it before `PageBlueprint::load(...)` in order to get access?

I’m in a hook `page.changeStatus:after` and get the current page with ` $page = $event->argument('newPage');`
