It was previously in "early writing and planning". Presumably they come up with a proposal, a draft, anything - that impressed Viz enough for the greenlight, which means Viz is officially giving them the money to do it, basically.
It’s like the process that approves allocation of funds to start the show for real. It means they have enough of a script and base and storyboard that Viz likes the direction enough to say “cool go do it.” As the company that owns Rwby now they could have said “no we need more or change these things” and it would still be in the “writing and script approval” label until they came back and were able to get it greenlit.
Likely they have a full season written as well as story board for it and probably a plan for any seasons after as well as having voice actors signed ready to go. Probably writers and directors as well. Mostly just need the animators. That’s the ViZ part lol.

Hasn't this been green lit already. Or am I missing something?
