# Assign a task

Wonderly lets you assign tasks to team members either when you first create a task or at any point afterward. This gives you flexibility whether you're planning work in advance or delegating on the fly.

### Method 1: Assign a task when creating it from scratch

{% hint style="info" %}
**When to use:** You're creating a new task and want to assign it to a team member.
{% endhint %}

1. Click **+ Create new** in the top-left corner of your Wonderly screen.
2. Select **Task**.
3. Go to the **Assignee** field and select a team member from the list.
4. Fill in the remaining task details.
5. Click **Save task**.

**Expected outcome:** The task is created and assigned to the team member you selected.

### Method 2: Reassign a task that already exists

{% hint style="info" %}
**When to use:** A task has already been created and you need to change who it's assigned to.
{% endhint %}

1. Open the task you want to reassign.
2. In the **Task** modal, click the **Assignee** field and select a different team member.

**Expected outcome:** The task is assigned to the team member you selected, and your changes are saved automatically.

**FAQ**

**Can I assign a task to more than one person?** No, tasks can only be assigned to one person at a time.

**Can I assign a task to myself?** Yes, you can assign a task to yourself in Wonderly.

**What happens to unassigned tasks?** An unassigned task will show "No assignee" or appear blank in the assignee field. We highly recommend that every task has an assignee.
