☑️ How to Complete Board Tasks

⚙️ Before You Begin: To use checkboxes for marking board tasks as complete, make sure the external checkboxes setting is enabled.

💻 To activate external checkboxes on Web/Desktop:

Open Settings
Click on Manage Spaces
Enable External Checkboxes for board tasks

Note: Only Workspace or Family admins can change this setting, and only from Web or Desktop.

You can mark board tasks as complete from several views—whether you're working from the board itself, the calendar, or My Day. Completed tasks stay visible until archived and can be restored anytime.

💻 On Web/Desktop

Open the task
Click on "Mark as complete"
If the task includes checklist items, a confirmation popup will ask if you’re sure you want to complete it
You can also complete tasks from the Calendar or My Day views by clicking on the checkbox or choosing "Completed" from the task menu

📱 On Android/iOS

Open the Task Details Menu inside the task
Tap "Mark as complete"
From Calendar view, tap the task to open the details menu and select "Mark as complete"
From My Day, either tap the checkbox in list view or go into the task and mark it as complete from the Task Details Menu

💡 When you complete a board task from My Day or the Calendar Views, the completed status is synced back to the board or original list.
