Create and edit a task

Add a task quickly

1. Open a project or the Inbox.
2. Select the Add task row at the bottom of the list, or at the bottom of a

section.

1. Type the title.
2. Press Enter.

The row stays open so you can keep typing. Press Escape to close it.

Add a task with all the options

1. Select Add task at the top of the sidebar. This works from any page.
2. Fill in what you need:

• Title and, if useful, a description
• Project
• Due date, and a time if it matters
• Priority: Urgent, High, Normal, or None
• Repeat, for work that comes round again
• Assignees, inside a workspace

1. Select Add task.

Edit a task

Select the task title to open it. Change anything and it saves as you go. There is no separate save button.

Inside the task you can also:

• Add subtasks. A checklist with a progress bar. Useful for a task with

several concrete steps that do not each deserve their own task.

• Write a longer description. Any web address in it becomes a link that

opens in a new tab, both inside the task and on its board card, so nobody has to copy the text out. An email address opens in your mail app.

• Leave comments. Anyone with access to the project sees them, and the

comment count shows on the task row. You can @mention someone, attach a file, and react with an emoji. See Comments and @mentions.

• Read the activity log. Who changed what, and when.

To rename a task without opening it, select the title text in the list and edit it in place.

Complete a task

Select the circle to the left of the title. Select it again to reopen.

Completing a task in a repeating series does not end the series, it schedules the next occurrence. See Recurring tasks.

Delete a task

1. Open the task's … menu.
2. Select Delete.
3. Confirm.

For a repeating task you are asked what the deletion should cover, this occurrence, this and future ones, or the whole series.

Move a task to another project

Open the task and change its project. Its comments, subtasks, and history go with it.

Working with several at once

Select the checkboxes on multiple rows to act on them together, complete, move, or delete in one step. In Board layout, drag a card between columns to move it between sections.
