🔁 Why Convert Personal Lists or Tasks?
Once you join a Family or Workspace plan, you may want to collaborate on existing tasks. Instead of starting from scratch, you can:

Move individual tasks into an existing board
This allows for advanced project management with:
Shared access
Section-based organization
Assignees, comments, file uploads, and more
📝 Converting a Personal List into a Board
Once your Family Space or Workspace is active, you can convert any personal list into a board.
💻 Web/Desktop Only
Open the personal list from the sidebar
Click the 3-dot menu next to the list title
Select Convert to Board
🧠 What happens next:
A new board is created with the same name
Tasks will be organized into two sections: “Checked” and “Unchecked”
The original personal list will remain in your account (you can delete or keep it)
💡 Each conversion creates a new board. You cannot merge a list into an existing board.
✅ Moving a Personal Task to a Board
You can also move specific tasks into any board in your Family or Workspace—perfect for cross-posting key tasks into shared workflows.
💻 Web/Desktop Only
📌 From Inside the Task
Open the personal task
Click the list name next to the reminder
Select the destination board in the “Move to…” pop-up
📌 From the List View
Hover over the task
Click the 3-dot menu
Choose Lists
Select the board in the “Move to…” pop-up
💡 You must have at least one active board in your space to move tasks.
