# Add a task to a project

Tasks help you break project work into actionable steps and assign ownership across your team. You can add tasks when first building a project, or at any point after a project is already underway.

### Method 1: Add a task when creating a new project

{% hint style="info" %}
**When to use:** You are starting a brand new project and want to build out its tasks right away.
{% endhint %}

1. Click **+ Create New** in the top-left corner.
2. Click **Project**.
3. Fill in your project details.
4. Click **Create**.
5. Inside the new project, click **+ Task**.

**Expected outcome:** The task is saved to your project and ready to be built out with details, assignees, and dates.

### Method 2: Assign an existing task to a project

{% hint style="info" %}
**When to use:** You have already created a task and want to link it to a project after the fact.
{% endhint %}

1. Open the task.
2. In the task modal, click the **Project** dropdown on the right-hand side.
3. Select the project you want to add the task to.
4. Changes are saved automatically.

**Expected outcome:** The task will now appear in the task list of the project you selected.

### Method 3: Add a new task directly inside an existing project

{% hint style="info" %}
**When to use:** Your project already exists and you want to create a net-new task from within it.
{% endhint %}

1. Click **Projects** in the left panel.
2. Open the workspace where your project lives, then click the project to open it.
3. Inside the new project, click **+ Task,** and fill in your task details.

**Expected outcome:** The task is added to the project and visible to anyone with access.
