# Task management

Tasks keep an action connected to its original Model, Conversation, Chat, or message. They are available in both desktop and mobile experiences.

## Create a task while sending a message

1. Open the relevant thread and write the message.
2. Enable the task option in the composer.
3. Assign the task to yourself, individual users, or an available User Group.
4. Send the message.

Fashionupdater creates the message and the linked task together. Assigned users receive the available notification and see the open task counter.

## Create a task from an existing message

Open the actions for the message and choose the task action. Review the task text and select the assignees before confirming. The task keeps a link back to the source content.

## Use the task lists

Open **Tasks** and switch between:

* **My Tasks** for work assigned to you;
* **Assigned by me** or **Assigned to Others** for tasks you created for other people, depending on the app.

Open a task to review its source, assignees, creator, and current completion state.

## Complete or reopen a task

Select the completion control to mark a task complete. Use the same task's action to reopen it if more work is required. The creator can receive an update when an assignee completes the task.

## Tasks assigned to a User Group

All eligible members receive the group assignment and see it among their tasks. When one member completes the group task, it becomes complete for the group. If one member reopens it, it becomes active for the group again.

Task availability and the people you can assign depend on your access to the source content and on Workspace permissions.
