Add a task

Type in New task at the top of a column and press Enter.

Edit a task

  1. Double-click the card, or choose its … menu › Details.
  2. Change the Title, Column, Effort, Due date, Scheduled date, Tags, Notes (up to 1,000 characters) or Subtasks. Effort can be a T-shirt size, a Fibonacci number or your own text.
  3. Choose Save, or press Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on a Mac). Esc goes back, and asks first if you have unsaved changes.

Add links

Under Links, paste a web address, or a Teams or Outlook link, add a Title (optional), then choose Add link. A task can have up to 10 links. Each one shows as an icon on the card.

Good to know

  • There’s no priority field. Order tasks by dragging them, or with Move up and Move down in the card’s … menu.
  • If a task came from a tool, editing its title or due date here stops later changes to them in the tool from coming through.
  • At the top of a task, Open infollowed by the tool’s name (for example Open in Jira) opens it in the tool it came from.
