This is the everyday flow for getting a task done - from picking it up to handing it back.
1. Start it
Open the task and press Start. That moves it to In Progress and starts the clock. (If it's a team task you haven't claimed yet, Claim it first.)
2. Record your output - the answer
The Output tab is where you write what you did - the result, notes, links, measurements. It's separate from the description (the ask). Type it in and press Save output. You can save as you go; it's not final until you finish.
If the task is marked Output required, you can't finish it until there's a non-empty output.
3. Attach files
You can attach files in two places, and they stay separated:
- Content files (on the Overview tab) - reference material for the ask: a drawing, a spec, a brief.
- Output files (on the Output tab) - proof of the answer: a photo of the finished work, a signed sheet, an export.
You can also paste or drop an image straight into the editor - it's stored as a file, never bloating the record.
4. Finish
Press Finish. The task goes to In Review for your manager. Two special cases:
- If it has open dependent sub-tasks, finishing parks it in Waiting on sub-tasks until they're all done - then it completes on its own.
- If output is required and there's none, finishing is blocked until you add it.
5. After you finish
Your manager reviews the output and either rates it (? Done) or requests changes (which sends it back to you, In Progress, with a note). If nobody reviews within 48 hours, it auto-approves so it never gets stuck.
