What is Multi-Edit?

Set or change task settings for several tasks at once! It’s as easy as 1-2-3!

 

Multi-Edit is a great way to set or change task settings to several selected tasks at the same time.
This way, you can save time managing tasks.

This time saver is available for Inbox tasks, Project tasks, Focus View tasks, and Template tasks.

The first thing you do is select the tasks that you want to update.

Then click on the Action button in the upper right corner and select Multi-Edit.

Then the Edit Task window pops up, and you can make your changes there.

Any changes you make will apply to all the tasks you’ve selected. Any fields that you don’t change will not be affected.
