How to edit a task

Editing a task is an everyday action, not an administrative one. Tap a task anywhere on its title or body — from the Tasks tab, a room or category group, search results, or the Requests screen — and it opens.

What you can change:

• Title — tap it at the top of the screen
• Room — where the task happens
• Applies to — which members the task shows up for, once your household has more than one person (see task applicability)
• Recurrence — either a rhythm (how often, like 2x per week) or specific weekdays; and the months of the year it applies to
• Effort — roughly how long it takes
• Category — the kind of work it is
• Essential — whether it counts as essential
• Earnings — what completing it is worth, when earnings are on

Each one opens a small drawer, and changes save as you make them. There is no save button.

Two other controls sit at the top of the screen: Details / History switches between the task’s settings and its completion record, and the ⋯ button holds My List, Request from…, and Archive task.
