Drag a task to the sidebar
On a computer, drag a task onto a list, a section or Today’s Plan in the sidebar to send it there. It’s the quick way to sort your Inbox.

This needs the sidebar open beside the page, which a computer does in a wide window.
Drag it there
- Press the task’s ⠿, at its left, and drag it over the sidebar.
- Let go on the row where it belongs.
| Let go on | What happens |
|---|---|
| A list | The task moves to that list |
| A section, or a pinned section | It goes into that section |
| Today’s Plan ☀️ | It goes into today’s plan |
To reach a section, hold the task over its list for a moment: the list’s sections open under it. A folded group opens the same way.
A note says where the task went, with Undo.
Good to know
- The rows that can’t take the task fade while you drag. All Lists, Ring Lists and a group’s name are only places to go.
- It works from a list, from Today’s Plan and from the other views. In the Inbox, each task has a ⠿ while the sidebar is open: drag each one to its list to empty it.
- Select several tasks and drag one of them: they all go.
- A section goes too: drag its title’s ⠿ onto a list, and it lands at the end of that list.
