Copy a task
- Open Tasks in the menu.
- Click the actions button (⋮) at the end of the task’s line and choose Copy.
The copy is added to the list, with a word after its title that marks it as a copy. It is open and unassigned, with the same type, description, due date, tags and documents. Edit it to choose the person.
From the task’s page, choose Copy in More actions: the copy’s page opens.
Delete a task
- Click the actions button (⋮) at the end of the task’s line and choose Delete. On the task’s page, it is in More actions.

The task goes to the trash, with its comments, documents and followers. To get it back, see Restore a deleted item.

Common questions
Can I get back a deleted task?
Yes, from the trash, as long as nobody deleted it for good. It comes back as it was. See How the trash works.
Does the person assigned to a deleted task get an e-mail?
No. Deleting a task sends no e-mail.
Is the copy assigned to the same person?
No. A copy is always unassigned and open, even when the task was completed. Edit it to choose the person.
