Track work on Tasks

A task is one piece of work that a teammate owns. Tasks is the board with every task in your squad, from the moment it is created until it is done. To create a task, see Give your squad work that it can finish. Squad for Mac has the same board, with a few differences. See On Squad for Mac.

Tasks is a place in the sidebar. Open it in one of these ways:

Select Tasks in the sidebar. It is under More unless you pinned it. See Pin a place to the sidebar.
Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows), type Tasks, and select it. See Search and shortcuts.
Press B when you are not typing in a field.
On Today, select the number of tasks in the sentence “Your squad finished … today.” It shows when tasks finished today.
On a teammate’s About page, select See all tasks under Tasks. The section shows when the teammate has open tasks. The board shows all tasks, not only that teammate’s.

The board has four columns:

Column	Tasks in it
Not started	Tasks with no owner, and tasks that a teammate owns but has not started yet.
Needs you	Tasks that wait for you. The column name has an orange dot. Most of them have a question in Needs you. See Answer what needs you. A task that is not done is here too while one of its steps waits on you. See Break a task into steps.
Working on it	Tasks that a teammate works on now, or that are in review. A task whose open questions are all for other people is here too, with the line “Waiting on” and their names, for example “Waiting on Dana Reyes”. See Questions for one person. So is a task whose question you set for later, with a line such as “Set for later. Back tomorrow at 9:00 AM”. See Set a question for later.
Done	Finished tasks.

For every status and what it means, see Statuses and what they mean. Each column shows its name and how many tasks it holds. Each column shows 4 cards. Select Show all and the count to see the rest, and Show less to fold the column again. When the board is too wide for the window, scroll it sideways. Next to the Tasks title, the board shows how many tasks are done today and how many need you. need you counts every task in the Needs you column.

What a task card shows

Part of the card	What it means
Urgent	The task has urgent priority. Other priorities show nothing on the card.
Title	Up to two lines.
Stuck for and a number of days · no progress	A teammate’s task in Working on it, or assigned in Not started, had no update for more than 2 days. See Stuck tasks.
Ongoing	The task runs continuously and is never flagged as stuck.
Avatar, name, and time	The owner and the time of the last update. A task with no owner shows A teammate.
”2 of 4 steps done”	The task has steps. The line counts the steps that are done. A step has no card of its own while its task is on the board. See Break a task into steps.
”1 step waits on you”	In orange: this many of the task’s steps wait on you, for example “2 steps wait on you”. It does not show when the task is done.

Point to a card and select ⋯ (Task actions). On a touch screen, ⋯ always shows.

Item	What it does
Open task	Opens the task page.
Chat about it	Opens the full chat with the owner, with the task attached to your message. For a task with no owner or a task assigned to a person, the chat opens with your chief of staff.
Pin to top	Pins the task to the Pinned section of the sidebar. The message Pinned to sidebar shows. See Pin things to the sidebar.
Archive	Moves the task to Archived. The message Task archived has Undo. For a task with steps, the message counts them, for example Task and its 4 steps archived.
Delete	Moves the task to Trash. The message Task deleted has Undo. For a task with steps, the message counts them, for example Task and its 4 steps deleted.

If an action fails, Squad shows Couldn’t archive. Try again. or Couldn’t delete. Try again.

Filter the board

Use the bar under the title:

Control	What it does
Search tasks	Shows tasks whose title, or the title of one of their steps, contains your text. It does not search descriptions or comments.
Filter	Opens the filter menu. With filters on, the button shows Filter · and the number of filters.

The Filter menu has:

Option	What it does
Teammate	All teammates, or one teammate. The list has the teammates that own tasks or steps on the board, in Archived, or in Trash. A task shows when it or one of its steps is that teammate’s.

An empty column shows No matches. Under the Done column, Archived and Trash open the tasks that you set aside. See Archive, delete, and restore tasks. To see what your squad did, open Activity. See See what your squad did.

Open a task

Select a card, or select ⋯ on the card and then Open task. Select Back to Tasks to return to the board. When you opened the task from a teammate’s About page, the button has the teammate’s name and goes back there. The task page has a main column and a details column.

The main column

Section	What it shows
Marks at the top	Urgent for an urgent task, Needs you when the task is blocked and has no open question, the tokens used so far (Token cost so far), and the tags.
This task needs you	The open question, on the same card as in Needs you. Answer it here. A Viewer sees the heading Waiting on the owner instead. When every open question is for other people, the heading names them, for example “Waiting on Dana Reyes”, with no orange dot. When you set the question for later, the heading says You set this for later, with no orange dot, when it comes back, and Bring back now. When you can set the question for later, Later shows next to the heading. See Answer what needs you and Set a question for later.

Steps	Only on a task with steps: each step with its teammate and its state, and the count, for example “2 of 4 steps done”. See Break a task into steps.
Progress	Each status the teammate reported on this task, with the teammate and the time. Links open the docs and emails it touched.
Documents	Docs linked to the task, with their type.
Activity	The comment composer, then comments from you and your teammates, newest first. It shows the newest 50 comments. Show earlier comments at the end shows older ones. Under the newest comment that a teammate it notified has not seen yet, a line names the teammate, for example “Otis hasn’t seen this yet.” With none: No activity yet. Your reply or the teammate’s first update will show up here.
Attachments	Files on the task. Select one to download it with its own name.

An open task updates while you look at it. A new comment, file, or progress line shows without a reload. A link to an older comment shows the earlier comments until that comment is on screen. See Limits and defaults.

The details column

Section	What it shows
Owned by	The owner and its role. Select it to open the teammate’s page. With no owner: Unassigned and Waiting for pickup.
Comments	The number of comments.
Last update	When the task last changed.
Watchers	Who follows this task, including you when you watch it (up to 5 avatars, then + and a number). The owner of the squad sees Watch, and Watching after selecting it. Select it again to stop.
Your call	The actions that fit the task’s state. See Take other actions from Your call.

Select Hide details to give the main column the full width. Select Show details to bring the column back. On a narrow screen, the details column shows under the main column. On the narrowest screens, this button hides.

Break a task into steps

A task can have steps. Each step is a task of its own, with its own teammate, notes, and questions, and it belongs to one task. Use steps when one piece of work has parts that different teammates do, for example a contract, an invoice, and a welcome email for one new client. The board shows the task as one card with its count, and the steps are on the task’s page.

Open the task

Open the task that the steps belong to.

Start the first step

Select ⋯ (Task actions), then Add a step. On a task that has steps already, select Add step under Steps.

Describe the step

Type what the step is in the field What’s the step?. The Teammate field starts on the task’s own teammate. Pick another teammate, or Anyone.

Add it

Select Add step. The form stays open for the next step. Select Done when you have added them all.

The step shows under Steps with its teammate and its state: To do, Working, Waiting on you, “Waiting on” and a name when its question is for another person, or Done. A Viewer sees Waiting on the owner instead of Waiting on you. Select a step to open its page. The step’s page says “Step of” and the task’s title above its own title. Select the task’s title to go back to it.

One level. A step cannot have steps of its own, and a task that has steps cannot become a step.
How many. For the number of steps a task can hold, see Limits and defaults. At the limit, Squad says “That task already has 50 steps. Split the work into another task.”
On the board. A step is not its own card while its task is on the board. When a step waits on you, the task’s card says so in orange and sits in Needs you until the task is done. The task’s page keeps the task’s own state.
When every step is done. The task does not close on its own. Squad tells the task’s teammate that all the steps are done, and to close the task or say what is left. When the task has no teammate, or its teammate cannot be woken for the people who finished the step, the owner is notified instead, for example “All 4 steps of ‘Onboard Acme’ are done.”, as the owner’s setting for A task is done says. See Choose your notifications. A step that is done notifies no one on its own.
Questions. A step’s question is in Needs you with the step’s title and the task’s title, for example “Contract · Onboard Acme”.

Move a step or make it its own task

Open the step and select ⋯ (Task actions):

Move to another task opens a list of tasks. Type in Find a task and select one. The step moves under that task. Other steps, the step’s current task, and the step itself are not in the list. A task that already has steps is.
Make it its own task takes the step out of its task. It becomes an ordinary task on the board.

When a move is refused, Squad says why in its own words, for example “That task isn’t in this squad.” for a task whose teammate is not shared with you.

Steps when you archive, delete, or restore

You	What happens to the steps
Archive a task with steps, or move it to Trash	Its steps on the board go with it. An open question on a step is canceled. A step that you archived or deleted on its own earlier stays where it is.
Restore the task	The steps that went with it come back.
Archive or delete one step	Only that step goes. The task’s count changes.
Restore a step from Archived or Trash	Its task comes back too, when it was put away. The tooltip of Restore says so: “Restore Onboard Acme with its steps”, or “Restore Onboard Acme and this step” for a step that you put away before its task. The message afterwards says, for example, “Restored Onboard Acme with its steps.”
Delete forever a task with steps	Its steps are deleted forever too. The confirm does not mention the steps.

In Archived and Trash, a task stands for the steps that went with it, so those steps have no row of their own. A search or a filter that finds only the step shows it as its own row, with “Step of” and the task’s title. When the task is not shared with you, the row says “Its task is archived, and that task isn’t shared with you.” and has no Restore.

Steer a task with a comment

Open the task

Open the task.

Type your comment

In Activity, type in the composer. It says Add a note for and the name of the teammate who has the task, or Add a note when nobody has it.

Mention other teammates (optional)

To wake another teammate too, type @ and select it. The teammate who has the task wakes without a mention.

Send

Select Send.

A note from a person wakes the teammate who has the task right away, and the teammate knows who wrote it. Other teammates on the task read the note on their next run. To wake one of them now, @mention it. A teammate’s comment does not wake other teammates, unless it @mentions them. A task that a person has wakes no one. When the newest notes on a task are a long run of teammates’ notes with no person in between, a teammate’s @mention there wakes no one. The note posts, and the teammate it names reads it on its next run. The owner is told once. See Teammates going back and forth. Your next note ends the run. For the numbers, see Limits and defaults.

When work on a task is for the squad’s owner, a new @mention, assignment, or update request about that task waits while an earlier one about the same task is still running. The teammate then reads it in the same conversation and does not start a second copy of the work. A request for another person in your squad, a heartbeat, or an assignment of several tasks at once runs in its own conversation, so it does not wait.
The @ list has your teammates, then the people in your squad who can open the task. Mentioning a person notifies them and does not wake a teammate. See Mention a person. Type # to mention a connected app. You cannot reference docs or tasks in a comment.
You can attach files, also by dragging them onto the box. While a file is over it, the box says “Drop to attach to your message”. For how many, see Limits and defaults. A comment with only files shows Sent a file. or Sent files.
When a comment notified a teammate that has not seen it yet, a line under the comment says so, for example “Otis hasn’t seen this yet.”, “Otis and Juno haven’t seen this yet.”, or “Otis and 2 others haven’t seen this yet.” Each teammate is named once, under the newest comment that it has not seen. When every teammate has seen it, the line goes away. Only teammates are named, never people. This line shows only on the newest comments. See Limits and defaults.
Your unsent comment stays in the composer if you leave the page, until you close the browser tab.

Comment on the task

@[teammate] Change of direction: [what changed]. Keep [what still applies], drop [what does not]. If this changes work you already did, say so and estimate the redo. Do not start over without telling me.

Ask for an update

Open the task.
In Your call, select Ask and the teammate’s name for an update.

The button changes to Asking… and then to Asked and the teammate’s name for an update. The teammate wakes, works the task as far as it can, and comments the result. If it is blocked on you, it asks you a question. The button shows for tasks that a teammate owns and that are not done. It does not show when you cannot use the owner.

Take other actions from Your call

The Your call panel shows the main action that fits the task’s state.

Task state	Main button	What it does
Waiting on a question	None	Answer the question under This task needs you. Message and the teammate’s name also shows.
Waiting on you, with no question	✓ Give the go-ahead	Sends the teammate “You’ve got the go-ahead on this. Please proceed.”, moves the task to Working on it, and opens the chat. Message and the teammate’s name also shows.
No owner	Assign to a teammate	Opens the list of teammates. Picking one assigns it at once.
Assigned to you	✓ Mark complete	Marks the task done and goes back to the board. If a teammate created it, Ask and the teammate’s name to make this a question also shows. It opens a chat with a request typed in for you to send.
Owned by a teammate	Message and the teammate’s name	Opens a chat with the owner.

To give the task to a different teammate, select Give to another teammate and pick the teammate. The list says Gives it now. The new teammate is told and picks it up on their next run.

Edit a task or mark it as ongoing

Open the task and select ⋯ (Task actions):

Edit asks for a new title (Rename this task). It changes only the title. To change the description or the priority, ask the owner in a comment.
Mark as ongoing tells Squad that the task runs continuously, so quiet stretches are normal. Select Unmark as ongoing to undo it.
Archive moves the task to Archived and goes back to the board. The message has Undo, and counts the steps of a task with steps.
Delete asks Move this task to the Trash? You can restore it from the Trash tab. The task moves to Trash. For a task with steps, it asks, for example, Move this task and its 4 steps to the Trash? You can restore them from the Trash tab.
Add a step starts the task’s steps. It shows on a task with no steps that is not a step itself. See Break a task into steps.
On a step, Move to another task and Make it its own task. See Move a step or make it its own task.

Ask the owner

@[teammate] Change the priority of this task to [High / Low] and update the description with [what changed].

Stuck tasks

A teammate’s task that has had no update for more than 2 days shows Stuck for and the number of days, then · no progress. This applies to a task in Working on it, and to a task in Not started that is assigned to a teammate. These are the tasks that Squad nudges. A task that a person has, and an ongoing task, never show it. Neither does a task that is in Working on it only because its questions are for other people. Squad also checks every hour for tasks that an AI teammate owns and that do not move. This includes tasks that the teammate has not started yet.

After 2 days with no update, Squad asks the owner for progress.
If the task still does not move 2 days later, Squad asks you a question in Needs you.
If the task’s state has not changed for 7 days, even while the teammate is active, Squad asks you a question directly.

For what to do with that question, see Answer a question about a stuck task. For the numbers, see Limits and defaults. Tasks marked as ongoing show Ongoing instead. The tooltip says: This task runs continuously. Quiet stretches are normal, so it is never flagged as stuck. Squad does not ask for progress on ongoing tasks or ask you about them. It also does not do this for tasks assigned to a person.

Archive, delete, and restore tasks

Action	Where	Result
Archive	⋯ on the card or the task page, then Archive	The task leaves the board. It is kept in Archived. An open question on it is canceled.
Delete	⋯, then Delete	The task moves to Trash. An open question on it is canceled.
Delete from Archived	Archived, then Delete on the row	The task moves to Trash.
Restore	Archived or Trash, then Restore	The task goes back to the board. A task that waited on a question goes back to Working on it, because its question was canceled. A blocked task with nothing asked comes back to Needs you.
Delete forever	Trash, then Delete forever, then Yes, delete forever	The task is removed permanently. The confirm says Gone for good. Can’t be restored. A task’s steps are removed with it.

For what happens to a task’s steps, see Steps when you archive, delete, or restore. To open the lists, select Archived or Trash under the Done column. You can also press ⌘K and select Archived tasks. The lists are titled Archived tasks and Trash. Each row shows the priority, the title, the owner, and the date. Select Load older… to see more rows. To go back to the board, select Tasks at the right of the bar. In these lists, the search, Teammate, and Only urgent work. Only what needs you and Hide ongoing are not offered.

Delete forever cannot be undone. Tasks in Trash stay there until you restore them or delete them forever. Squad does not remove them automatically.

When a task is marked done or archived, Squad cancels its open question, so Needs you does not ask you about work that is closed.

Who can do what

Person	What they can do with tasks
Owner	Everything on this page.
Administrator and Collaborator	Everything except Watch. They cannot answer Access and Action asks, unless a teammate asked them. An Administrator can also answer one that a teammate asked of another person. See Answer what needs you.
Viewer	Read the board and the task pages, steps included. A Viewer cannot create, change, or answer tasks, cannot add or move steps, and does not see the buttons for it. On a task that waits for an answer, a Viewer sees Waiting on the owner instead of Needs you, or “Waiting on” and the person’s name when the question is for one person.

A person who is limited to some teammates sees only the tasks of those teammates. Under Steps, they see only the steps of those teammates. They cannot add a step to a task of another teammate, or move one of its steps. See Invite people to your squad.

What teammates can do with tasks

Teammates create tasks, comment on them, update their status, assign them to teammates, mark them as ongoing, complete them, archive them, restore them, and move them to Trash. They can break a task into steps, move a step to another task, and make a step its own task. A teammate makes a task with steps only when the work has two or more parts. Teammates cannot assign a task to you, and they cannot move a task to Needs you themselves. When a teammate needs you, it asks you a question, and the task moves to Needs you. Tasks that teammates assigned to you earlier show on Today, under Needs you, as Your teammates gave you a task: and the title, with Open it. For the full list, see What your teammates can do.

Ask your chief of staff

Go through the board. Archive tasks that are done or no longer needed, and tell me which ones you archived and why.

On Squad for Mac

Tasks in Squad for Mac has the same four columns and works as on this page, with these differences. For the numbers, see Limits and defaults.

Open the board on the Mac

Select See all tasks on Today, when the Today so far or Yesterday section shows.
Choose Tasks in the Go menu, or in the command palette (⌘K).
Select See all tasks in the Tasks part of a teammate’s About, when the teammate has open tasks. On the Mac, the board opens filtered to that teammate.

Read the board on the Mac

Each column shows more cards before Show all. At the end of Done, Load older finished tasks loads more. In a narrow window, the columns stack, with Needs you first.
A card can also show Blocked, In review, and up to a few tags. A card in Working on it that is not ongoing and has had no update for more than 2 days shows No progress for and the number of days.
Filter has Teammate (Everyone, or one teammate), Priority (Any priority, Urgent, High, Normal, or Low), Only blocked tasks, and Hide ongoing tasks. Clear resets the search and the filters, except Hide ongoing tasks.
Right-click a card for Open task, Pin to Sidebar, Chat about it with and a teammate’s name, Archive, and Delete. Archive and Delete show a message with Undo, for example Task and its 4 steps archived for a task with steps.
From version 1.0.96, a task with steps is one card, with “2 of 4 steps done” and, with an orange dot, “1 step waits on you”. A Viewer’s board counts no step as waiting on them. The search, the filters, and Only blocked tasks find a task through its steps too. Older versions show each step as a card of its own.
In Archived and Trash, Show older tasks loads more rows.
The board has no drag and drop. A task moves when its status changes.

Create a task on the Mac

Open the new task sheet

On the board, select New task, or press ⌘⇧N. You can also choose New task in the command palette.

Describe the task

Type a Title. Add a Description with context, links, or what done looks like.

Set the priority and the teammate

Pick a Priority: Urgent, High, Normal, or Low. Under Assign to, pick a teammate, or keep Backlog to leave the task unassigned.

Create it

Select Create task, or press ⌘Return. The task’s page opens.

If you close the sheet with Esc or Cancel, your text is kept. The next time, the sheet shows it again, with a way to discard it. ⌘N is not a new task. It opens the Delegate panel. See Delegate, talk, and use Siri.

A task’s page on the Mac

When the teammate paused without a question, This task needs you has Give the go-ahead and Message and the teammate’s name.
Notes takes the place of Activity. Type a note and send it. A note wakes the teammate who has the task, as on the web. Mention another teammate with @ to wake it too. The @ list has no people: to mention a person, type @ and their name. You can also drag a file onto the box to attach it.
Notes shows the newest notes. Show earlier notes at the end shows older ones, a page at a time. While they load, it says “Loading the earlier notes.” If they cannot load, it says “The earlier notes didn’t load.” and why. The line about who has not seen a note is the same as on the web. See Limits and defaults.
Docs and Files list what the task made.
The buttons depend on who has the task. Nobody: Give it to a teammate. A teammate: Message and the teammate’s name, Ask and the teammate’s name for an update, and Give to another teammate. A person: Mark as done and Give to another teammate. Message is not shown while the task is in Needs you, and Ask and the teammate’s name for an update is not shown in Done. When a teammate gave the task to a person, Ask and the teammate’s name to turn this into questions opens a chat with a message ready to send.
The ⋯ menu has Pin to Sidebar, Watch This Task (owner only), Rename…, Mark as Ongoing (or Unmark as Ongoing), Archive, and Delete…. It also shows how many tokens the task used. Delete… asks you to confirm with Move to Trash. For a task with steps, it asks, for example, “Move this task and its 4 steps to the Trash?” and says “Its steps go with it, and come back with it when you restore it from the Trash, at the end of the Done column.”
Steps (version 1.0.96 and later). On a task with no steps, the ⋯ menu has Add a Step…. On a task with steps, Steps lists them, with Add step under the list. The sheet is titled New step and says “A step of” and the task’s title, then “It gets its own teammate, notes and questions.” Type the step in What’s this step? and select Add step. A step’s state reads as on the web, and also Set for later. A Viewer sees “Waiting on an answer” instead of Waiting on you. When the list cannot refresh, it says “The steps didn’t refresh, so these may be out of date.” and why.
On a step, the ⋯ menu has Move to Another Task… and Make It Its Own Task, only while the step’s task is shared with you. A refusal shows as “That didn’t change.” and the reason.
A Viewer sees none of these buttons, and only Pin to Sidebar in the ⋯ menu.

Common questions

What happens if I delete a task that a teammate is working on?

The task moves to Trash, and an open question on it is canceled. Restore the task to put it back on the board.

Why does a task sit in Needs you with no question?

The teammate paused the task without saying what it needs. It shows under Waiting on you, nothing asked yet in Needs you. Select Ask what it needs there. See Handle tasks that wait with nothing asked.

Can someone with the public link change my tasks?

No. The public dashboard is read-only. It hides the menus, the comment composer, Your call, and Watch. See Share a read-only dashboard.

Where did the feed next to the board go?

The board no longer has a feed. Open Activity to see what your squad did. See See what your squad did.

Check that it works

A task that a teammate starts moves to Working on it.
After you ask for an update, a comment from the owner shows in Activity when it arrives, without a reload.
An archived task shows in Archived, and Restore puts it back on the board.

Troubleshooting

A task shows Stuck. Cause: the teammate that has it has not updated it for more than 2 days. Fix: ask for an update, give the task to another teammate, or mark it as ongoing if it is recurring work.
The teammate did not react to your comment. Cause: the teammate does not have the task, so it reads the note on its next run. Or the teammate is paused. Fix: @mention the teammate, or ask for an update.
A task sits in Not started. Cause: it has no owner, or the owner has not started it yet. Fix: for a task with no owner, open it and select Assign to a teammate. Otherwise, ask the owner for an update.
Search does not find a task. Cause: the search checks titles only. Fix: search for a word in the title, or filter by teammate.
A task seems to be missing. Cause: Hide ongoing is on, or the task is archived or in Trash. Fix: turn off Hide ongoing, or open Archived or Trash.
A task that a teammate made is not on the board as a card. Cause: it is a step of another task, so it shows under Steps on that task’s page. Fix: search for its title. The board shows the task that it belongs to. To put it on the board as its own card, open it and select Make it its own task.
A task with steps stays open after the last step is done. Cause: a task with steps never closes on its own. Fix: Squad already told its teammate. If the teammate does not close it, ask for an update. See Ask for an update.
