# Tasks

In the context of project management, a task is a piece of work that has a time element associated with it. In Sitecore Content Hub, there are several [types of tasks](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/task-types.html "Task types"). Examples of tasks are:

- Upload images from a photoshoot.
- Change the layout of a page.
- Annotate content.
- Review and approve a piece of artwork.

Tasks are listed on the **Tasks** page or on the **Tasks** tab within a project or stage.

> [!important]
> You must have the necessary permissions for your tasks to display on the **Tasks** page.

Examples

The following example shows the **Tasks** page.

The following example shows the **Tasks** tab within the **Ideation** stage of a project.

Project managers can [create tasks](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/create-a-task.html "Create a task") on the **Tasks** tab in a basic project or in a stage of a multi-stage project, and perform actions on tasks - such as [editing details](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/edit-task-details.html "Edit task details") and [reassigning a task](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/reassign-a-task.html "Reassign a task") - from the **Tasks** page. Task assignees can use the **Tasks** page to view tasks they have been assigned, and [select a task to complete](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/complete-a-task.html "Complete a task").

## More actions

When looking at a list of tasks, you can use the **More actions** :mdiDotsHorizontal: menu to make a variety of changes to that task.

| Icon | Action | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ![Reassign icon](https://doc.sitecore.com/api/markdown-image/ch/en/users/content-hub/images/user-arrow-in.png) | **Reassign task** | [Change the assigned users or user groups](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/reassign-a-task.html). |
| :mdiPencilOutline: | **Edit task** | [Edit the task](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/edit-task-details.html) (for example, change the name or message text; or add assets, fragments, and CMP content). |
| ![Send reminder icon](https://doc.sitecore.com/api/markdown-image/ch/en/users/content-hub/images/send-reminder.png) | **Send reminder** | Send a reminder to the assigned users or assigned user groups. |
| :mdiCloseCircleOutline: | **Cancel** | Cancel the task. The task is kept, but its status is changed to *CANCELED*. |
| :mdiTrashCanOutline: | **Delete task** | Remove the task. The task is removed from the project and deleted. |

> [!note]
> You can [search and filter](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/search,-filter,-and-select.html "Search, filter, and select") tasks (for example, you can narrow down the list of tasks displayed using the **All**, **Assigned to me**, or **Created by me** filters).

## Task status

To help you quickly determine the status of a task, each status type is color coded:

- **Red** - these tasks are *Declined*. They have been rejected by the assignee.
- **Green** - these tasks are *Done*. They are complete.
- **Blue** - these tasks are *In progress*. They have been accepted and are under way.
- **Grey** - these tasks are *Waiting* or *Assigned*. They are pending and have not yet started.
