# Copy, export or delete tasks

Use a task's actions button to copy or delete it, or select several tasks in the list. Deleted tasks go to the trash, where you can restore them.

## Copy a task

1. Open “Tasks” in the menu.
2. 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

1. 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”.
2. Confirm with “Yes, delete it!”

The task goes to the trash, with its comments, documents and followers. To get it back, see [Restore a deleted item](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/restore-deleted-items).

## Work on several tasks at once

1. In the list, tick the box in front of each task, or the box at the top to select every task on the page.
2. In the bar that appears, choose “Export”, “Copy” or “Delete”.

## Export tasks

1. Search or filter the list to show the tasks you want.
2. Click “Export” at the top right of the list.
3. Tick the columns to include and click “Confirm”.

Skileo downloads a CSV file of the tasks shown, which you can open in a spreadsheet.

## Who can copy, export and delete

A “Business owner” can. A “Member” can when they are allowed to make changes in Tasks. Without that, these actions don't show.


## 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](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/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.
