Hi there, We have recently started using Hubspot amd in my attempts to configure it to suit our needs, I have managed to upset the lead stage tracker. It is now out of sync, menaing when I click to change the stage, e.g. from connected to quoting (qualified) the tracker (orange blobs) do not move along to match it. And I can’t work out what I have done to cause this. Any help, preferably in very simple terms, would be appreciated. ---

Hi @LOttway, Could you please share a screenshot that shows how this is currently out of sync? (two screenshots: one of the stage tracker, one of the lead reflecting different information) Please pixelate any personal data of the lead. Best regards ---

@LOttway as far as I can tell, these might simply be different leads. What makes you think they’re the same one? ---

Hi Karsten, This is the same customer record, and it is happening on all my leads. Please see other screenshots below from another lead record. ![Screenshot 2026-05-06 095106.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/2/8237998c8fd25389cdfaa38f0a0ce96dbe97ea6c.png) ![Screenshot 2026-05-06 095119.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/6/0/60980c0178622f372ef3d31165bc9d916c4d854e.png) ---

@LOttway I’m not sure I’m following. The most recent two look identical - do you just want to see one then, instead of two? ---

Hi Karsten, I am sure it is me and how I am explaining things. On the last 2 screen shots, you have Owner, Lead Type and Stage. In the stage field it says Following Up, but when I hover over the tracker (orange blobs) it says Quoting. Surely they should match? ---

@LOttway HubSpot is simply showing you, when you hover your mouse over a stage, what the name of it is. It’s not the stage it’s currently in, simply the label of the stage you move your mouse over.
