How do I add subtasks and checklists to a task?

Last reviewed 11 October 2026 · Part of Task management

Subtasks let you break a task into a checklist of smaller steps. They appear on saved, top-level tasks (not on subtasks themselves — only one level of nesting is allowed).

Adding Subtasks

1. Open a saved task and go to the SUBTASKS tab
2. Click the placeholder line with the checkbox
3. Type the subtask subject
4. Press Enter to add it

Completing Subtask Items

Click the checkbox next to any subtask to toggle it complete. Completed items show with ~~strikethrough~~ text.

Progress Tracking

The progress bar at the top shows "X of Y completed" with a visual fill bar.

Reordering

Drag the grip handle (visible on hover) to reorder subtasks.

Removing Subtasks

Click the X button (visible on hover) next to any subtask. Only the task creator or admin can remove subtasks.
