Share a task, or send a copy

Put people on one live task the way you'd invite guests to a calendar event, or hand someone their own independent copy.

Put people on a task

  1. 1Open a task's menu and choose Share.
  2. 2Add people by email, anyone already on the task can add more, like guests on a calendar invite.
  3. 3Everyone now sees the same live task. Edits sync, and when anyone finishes it, it's done for everyone.

A shared task shows a small 👥 count on its row. The owner can remove anyone from the People sheet; everyone else can leave whenever they like, and leaving (or choosing Let it go) removes the task from your world without touching the owner's.

Send a copy lives inside the same Share sheet. The copy lands in their Inbox marked ↪ from your name, carrying the title, notes, deadline, estimate, and step titles (unticked). Your Spotlight star, list, repeat rule, and reminders stay yours. For sharing a whole project rather than one task, see shared lists.
