+## Status updates
+
+Creating a HelmOp resource leads to a bundle being created, if Helm options are valid and a chart version can be found.
+
+The status of that bundle will evolve over time, as bundle deployments are created from it, for each target cluster, and
+as these bundle deployments' statuses themselves evolve and are propagated back to the bundle.
+
+Fleet propagates updates from the bundle status to the status of the HelmOp resource itself.
+This includes:
+* a display status with a summary, expected and ready cluster counts
+* conditions providing more information about the state of the resource, whether it is valid and its deployments are
+ready
+* resource counts by status
+
+See [status fields](./ref-status-fields.md) for more details on resource counts and conditions.

+**Accepted**: The HelmOp is able to properly manage deployments to target clusters. May be false if:

 ## Resources List
 
-The resources lists contain the deployed resources, categorized under `Bundles` and `GitRepos`.

-### Bundles

-The deployed resources within bundles can be found in `status.ResourceKey`. This key represents the actual resources deployed via `bundleDeployments`.
