How do I add a description to a task?

On the task’s Overview tab, click the Description area, write or format your text, and click Save.

Steps

1. Open the task.
2. Under Description, click “Click to add a description…” (or the existing text).
3. Type your description. Use the toolbar for Bold, Italic, Underline, alignment, Bullet List, Numbered List, headings and Code Block.
4. You can also type / to open a quick menu of headings, lists and code blocks.
5. Click Save, or Cancel to discard your changes.

Good to know

• In a code block, press Enter to leave the block and Shift + Enter for a new line inside it.
• The activity panel records that the description was updated, but not the old text.
• Descriptions are searchable from the search bar at the top of the page.
• For back-and-forth conversation, use the comment box in Activity & Discussion instead of editing the description.
