Tasks overview

Tasks organize work inside a project — assign people, set dates and priorities, add checklists, discuss in comments, and track time.

A task is a unit of work inside a project. Tasks have assignees, dates, a priority, checklists, comments, and attachments — and you can start a timer straight from one.

Before you start
Role
OwnerAdminManagerMember

Anyone can view tasks and comments. Editing a task's fields is open to the manage tier or the assigned Member. Archiving and deleting a task is manage-tier only — a Member can edit a task they're assigned but can never archive or delete it.

Where to find tasks

  • The global Tasks page (/tasks) shows tasks across every project, in Board or List view.
  • A project's Tasks tab (/projects/[id]/tasks) shows that project's tasks.

Click any task to open a quick-edit drawer. The full read-first detail view lives at /projects/[id]/tasks/[taskId].

What you can do

A note on money

On a task's time panel, money is hidden from Members. Members track time and see hours, but never rates or amounts.
