Hi Taskaders  🎉

We are back with another exciting update. Let us know what you think!

> **TL;DR:** Action View, workspace emojis, and a snappier roadmap shipped in 2021 — today they've grown into [multiple project views](https://www.taskade.com/templates), frontier AI models, and AI-driven roadmap generation. [Taskade Genesis](https://www.taskade.com/create) turns any prompt into a living app, and [AI Agents](https://www.taskade.com/agents) plan and execute work across 100+ [integrations](https://www.taskade.com/integrations).

> **Then → Now:** Action View was our first table-style task manager. Now [multiple project views](https://www.taskade.com/templates) — List, Board, Calendar, Table, Mind Map, Gantt, Org Chart — work in lockstep with [AI Agents](https://www.taskade.com/agents) that draft entire roadmaps from a prompt and [Automations](https://www.taskade.com/automate) that execute them.

## **********⚡️ Action View**********

We've updated the [action view](https://www.taskade.com/learn/projects) to help you quickly manage due dates and assignments alongside tasks.

## 🗺️ Action View → Table View → AI Roadmap

The Action View was Taskade's first attempt at a "tasks-with-metadata-columns" surface — a direct ancestor of today's [Table View](https://www.taskade.com/learn/projects/table-view), [Gantt View](https://www.taskade.com/learn/projects/gantt-view), and AI-generated roadmaps.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the Action View in Taskade?

The Action View displays tasks alongside their due dates and assignees in a table format, making it easy to manage deadlines and track who's responsible for what. It's designed for quickly updating task status, rescheduling due dates, and reassigning work across your team.

### Can I add emoji icons to Taskade workspaces?

Yes. Customize each workspace and folder with an emoji icon to make navigation more visual and fun. Select any emoji to represent the workspace's purpose — like a rocket for product launches or a book for documentation — helping you identify spaces at a glance.

### What is the Workspace Roadmap in Taskade?

The Workspace Roadmap is a timeline view that visualizes all projects with due dates across a workspace. Add a date to any project to populate the roadmap, then drag to reorder and reschedule. It provides a high-level overview of project timelines for strategic planning.

### Does Taskade for Mac support Apple M1?

Yes. The Taskade desktop app for Mac supports Apple M1 and later Apple Silicon processors with native performance optimizations. This ensures smooth operation, faster rendering, and better battery efficiency on modern Mac hardware.
