TL;DR: This September 2022 update brought one-click "Add to Calendar," a Multi-Select Toolbar for bulk operations, the /assign slash command, and Template Add-ons that preserved attachments and due dates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add tasks directly from Taskade's global calendar?
Yes. Open your Workspace or Folder, select the calendar icon from the left navigation menu, and click on any day to create a new task with a due date. The task is automatically added to the selected project and appears across all calendar views (month, week, and day).
What is the Multi-Select Toolbar in Taskade?
The Multi-Select Toolbar lets you select multiple tasks or content blocks and apply bulk actions — format text, add due dates, assign members, or check off tasks — all with a single click. Select items using Shift+Click or Cmd/Ctrl+Click to activate the toolbar.
How do I assign a task using a slash command in Taskade?
Type /assign in the project editor and select a team member from the dropdown list. The assignee receives an instant notification about the new task. This is faster than using the right-click menu and keeps you in the keyboard-driven workflow.
Do Taskade templates preserve add-ons like due dates and attachments?
Yes. Projects created from templates retain all add-ons including file attachments, due dates, comments, embeds, and timers. This means you can set up a template once with all the details and spin up fully configured projects for recurring workflows.
