State in ansible playbook

why sometimes i see state: present and sometime state: installed,what is the difference between two

Hi @shravan-bire,
installed and present is the same, it’s like alias both is to the check if the package is installed on the system
We have the same thing for removed and absent to remove/uninstall package from system

However, we’ve latest, he did the same thing as present and installed but update the package to the latest version
