Watch a task
Follow a task to hear when its progress, due date or assignees change, or someone adds a note.
Watching a task tells you when someone else changes it. You watch tasks you created or are assigned to automatically, and you can watch or stop watching any task.
Watch or stop watching#
- Open the task's page by selecting its name on the board.
- Select Watch at the top. It changes to Watching.
- To stop, select Watching.
Hover over the button to see why you're watching, for example because you're assigned to the task.
What you're told#
When someone else:
- changes the task's progress, or reopens it
- completes it
- sets, moves or removes its due date
- changes who it's assigned to
- adds a note
Changes to the title, description, room, priority or dependencies don't notify anyone.
Fewer notifications for a run of changes#
Changes by one person to one task within about 10 minutes are folded into a single notification, as long as you haven't read it yet. When someone changes many tasks you follow at once, such as completing 12 tasks, you get one notification for the lot.
If you stop watching a task you're assigned to, you still hear when it's assigned to you, and you still get its due date reminders.
