Assignees

Assignees let you hand a Task to the people responsible for it. Assigning works on shared Cowork Lists, where a Task can go to one or more of the List’s members.

Assigning a Task

Open a Task on a shared List and set its Assignees. You can assign it to a single member or to several at once, and you can change or clear the Assignees the same way later.

Only members of that List can be assigned, so share the List and manage its members first if the person you want is not yet on it. Private Lists and your Inbox are personal to you, so they have no Assignees.

When you are assigned a Task, you get an on-site notification.

Where assignee avatars appear

Once a Task has Assignees, their avatars show in two places:

On the Task row, so you can see who owns each Task while scanning a List.
In the Task detail, alongside the rest of the Task’s information.

Several Assignees show as a set of avatars in both places.
