Edit completed tasks

Edit and reopen your previously completed tasks

Written by Christy Umberger

After you complete a task, you can still make updates, edit task details, or resume the task if more work is needed.

A completed task has three states:

  1. Completed

  2. Edited

  3. Reopened

What you can edit depends on the state of the task.


Editing a completed task

Editing lets you make administrative updates and add attachments while keeping the task complete.

  1. Go to Tasks > Completed tasks.

  2. Click on the name of a task to open the task details.

  3. In the task footer, click Edit task.

  4. Update any of the available fields, as needed.

  5. Click Finish editing to save your changes.
