Add notes, mention people and see a task's history

Each task has a notes thread for updates, measurements and decisions, and a history of every change. The task's Description is separate: it's on the Details tab and says what the job involves.

Add a note#

1. Open the task and go to the Notes tab.
2. Write your note. Use the toolbar for Bold, Italic, bulleted and numbered lists, and links.
3. Select Add note, or press Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on a Mac).

Notes are listed newest first, with who wrote them and when.

Mention someone#

Type @ and pick a person from the list. The list holds the project's people who have an account. They get a notification that you mentioned them.

Edit or delete a note#

• Select Edit on your own note. Changes save as you go, and when you select Done.
• Select Delete to remove a note. You can delete your own notes. Owners and Admins can delete anyone's.

See a task's history#

The History tab lists every change, newest first: who renamed it, moved it, changed its priority, due date, progress or assignees, and changes to its subtasks, dependencies, time and materials. Use Show to narrow it to one kind of change.

The history can't be edited or deleted. It's kept for the life of the project.

When two people edit at once#

If someone saves a change to the same field while you're editing, RenovU shows Someone else changed this task. For each field, choose Theirs, Yours or Write a merged version, then select Save my choices. Changes to different fields are kept without asking. The history records the value that wasn't kept.
