Updated over a month ago

Managing your Space in Any.do is simple and efficient with our Space Management screen. Whether you're adjusting settings, handling user roles, or managing billing, these frequently asked questions provide the information you need to effectively oversee your Workspace or Family Space.

⚙️ Managing spaces and members

Add, remove, and manage members within your Space to ensure smooth collaboration and effective team management.

🪐 What is a Space in Any.do?

A Space is a dedicated area within Any.do for managing tasks and collaborating with others. Every account comes with a Personal Space by default, and users can create additional Family Spaces or Workspaces for team or family collaboration.

✨ How do I create a Family Space or Workspace?

To create a Family Space or Workspace, navigate to your account settings in the Any.do app. Choose the option to add a new Space and select whether you want to create a Family Space or Workspace along with your preferred subscription plan. Follow the prompts to set up your Space and start adding members. For more details, see here.

👥 Who can add members to a Family Space or Workspace?

Only admins of a Family Space or Workspace can add new members. Admins can invite members via the mobile app or web/desktop apps by sending email invites or sharing a public link.

👥 How do I manage user roles and permissions in my Space?

Space admins can assign different permission levels—Guests, Members, and Admins—through the Space Management screen. This allows you to control how each member interacts with your Space and its boards. Board admins can also manage roles for specific boards to ensure appropriate access levels. To learn more, see here.

🔏 Can I replace or remove members from my Space?

Yes, admins can replace or remove members from their Space. Replacing a member frees up their "seat," allowing you to add a new member without additional fees. Removing a member will block their access to the Space and all associated premium features. For more details, see here.

🔁 Converting and organizing tasks

Convert personal tasks and lists into collaborative boards as you transition to your Workspace/Family Space.

✅ How do I convert personal tasks to board tasks?

After setting up your Family Space or Workspace, you can convert personal tasks into board tasks via the web/desktop apps by selecting the task and choosing the option to move it to a board. This makes the task accessible to all members with access to that board. See more details here.

🤔 Can I convert a personal list into an existing board?

No, converting a personal list will always create a new board with the same title as the list. This ensures better organization by keeping each board distinct.

🧐 What happens to my personal list after converting it to a board?

The original personal list remains in your account after conversion. You can choose to keep it for personal reference or delete it if it's no longer needed.

📝 How do I convert a personal list into a Family Space or Workspace board?

Select the personal list you want to convert and choose the option to transform it into a board within the web or desktop app. A new board with the same title as your list will be created, and your tasks will be organized into 'checked' and 'unchecked' columns based on their status. This board will sync to all of your devices. For more details, see here.

🔔 Space notifications and updates

👀 How do I access the Notifications Center?

📨 How do I set up custom email notifications for my boards?

🔎 How do I filter notifications by importance?

In the Notifications Center, use the filter options to display notifications based on their importance. This allows you to prioritize urgent items and manage your workflow more effectively by focusing on what matters most.

👾 What should I do if I'm not receiving email alerts?

Ensure your notification settings are correctly configured in the board’s settings and that Any.do is allowed to send emails to your inbox. Check your email spam folder and verify that your app is updated to the latest version. If issues persist, submit a bug report here and our Support Team will gladly assist!
