Task lists on the sheet

Every task list is pinned to the spot on a sheet where its work is, shown as a clipboard. The pin takes you from the plan to the tasks, and VIEW IN PLANS takes you back.

Open a list from its pin

Tap the clipboard on the sheet (click it on a Mac). The list opens over the plan, with its tasks and comments. Open Layers while it’s open, and Layers starts on Tasks with that list picked.

Find a list’s pin

Open the task list, from its pin or from Tasks in the toolbar.
Tap VIEW IN PLANS.

The list closes and the plan opens on the list’s sheet, zoomed in on its clipboard with the sheet around it in view. The clipboard is highlighted so you can see which one you came for. Tap anywhere else on the sheet, or a note or a shape, and the highlight goes.

The pin on every task’s work

When someone sends in work on a task, Plan sheets in the work starts with the list’s own sheet: a picture of the sheet around its clipboard, marked with a red dot. View in plans on it opens that sheet, zoomed in on the clipboard. If the sheet has been deleted since, the picture says Sheet deleted.

Hide pins

To hide one list’s pin, or all of them, use Tasks in Layers. Hiding a pin changes only your view.
To see only the pins of lists with something for you, turn on Mine.

Good to know

Admins and Managers place a new list’s pin with Tasks in the toolbox. See Make and find task lists.
A list someone else places shows on your sheet within a few seconds, and a list someone deletes goes from it, without the sheet reloading.
Turn the device and every pin stays on the same spot of the sheet.
A pin can go right on top of a drawing or shape.
On a phone, tapping a list in Task Lists closes Task Lists and opens the list over the plan. On a wide screen it opens beside the lists instead.
