Edit a task

Tap or click a task’s words to change them. Enter or tapping away saves, Esc cancels, and the buttons above the list do the rest.

Change the words

1. Tap or click the task’s words. They become a box you can type in.
2. Make your change.
3. Press Enter, or tap or click somewhere else, to save it.

Esc puts the words back as they were. While you’re typing, Undo takes back your typing first.

On a computer, ↑ and ↓ move on to the task above or below.

Bold, italic and links

• Bold or italic: select the words, then tap or click B or I at the top of the list. On a computer, Ctrl+B and Ctrl+I do the same (Cmd on a Mac). Press it again to take it off.
• A link: type or paste a web address that starts with https://. It becomes a link when you save. For a link under the task instead, see Attachments.
• A new line inside a task: Shift+Enter, on a computer keyboard.

Split or join tasks

• Split: put the cursor in the middle of the words and press Enter. The rest becomes a new task below.
• Join: put the cursor at the very start of a task and press Backspace. It joins the end of the task above. If the task has a priority, label or date in front, each Backspace takes one of those off first.

The editing tool bar

While you edit a task, a second row of buttons shows under the first:

⋯ holds the rest: a reminder, waiting on someone, attach a picture, snooze, Won’t do, make it a subtask, move it to another section or list. On a computer, right-click the task for the same things in one menu.
