Hi Taskaders 👋

We have many exciting improvements for Taskade this week!

> **TL;DR:** The 2020 multi-select and workspace filter improvements set the stage for what Taskade has become — now spanning [multiple project views](https://www.taskade.com/templates), [frontier AI models](https://www.taskade.com/agents), and [100+ integrations](https://www.taskade.com/integrations). [Taskade Genesis](https://www.taskade.com/create) turns any prompt into a living app powered by your workspace, while multi-layer search (full-text + semantic + OCR) makes finding tasks instant.

> **Then → Now:** What started as a faster assignee/tag filter is now a multi-layer search engine combining full-text, semantic vectors, and file-content OCR — see [Learn Taskade: Projects](https://www.taskade.com/learn/projects/project-views) for the modern view stack.

| Dimension | 2020 (this release) | Today (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Filter | Manual multi-select by assignee + #tag | Saved filters + AI auto-tagging via [agents](https://www.taskade.com/learn/agents/custom-agents) |
| Bulk ops | Drag to reorder, Tab/Shift+Tab indent | Bulk ops + AI agents auto-organizing nested tasks |
| Views available | List, Mind Map, Org Chart, Calendar sync | [multiple project views](https://www.taskade.com/learn/projects/project-views) (List, Board, Calendar, Table, Mind Map, Gantt, Org Chart) |
| Search | Workspace filter by tag/assignee | Multi-layer: full-text + semantic HNSW + OCR |
| Intelligence | None (no AI yet — AI arrived Dec 2022) | [Frontier models](https://www.taskade.com/agents) from top AI labs |

## **⚡️ Drag to Reorder Multiple Tasks**

You can now **select and drag** multiple tasks at once to move them around.

## ****⚡️ Tab to Indent Multiple Tasks****

Organize faster with **TAB** to indent or **SHIFT + TAB** to outdent multiple tasks.

## ****⚡️ New Workspace Filtering****

It's now **faster** and **simpler** to filter assignees and tags in your workspace. Today, that same idea powers [AI Agents](https://www.taskade.com/agents) that triage tasks for you and [Automations](https://www.taskade.com/automate) that route work across your team.

## ⌨️ Bulk-Edit Cheat Sheet

The 2020 release locked in the muscle-memory shortcuts that still ship today. Every keystroke below works in 2026 across [multiple project views](https://www.taskade.com/learn/projects/project-views).

```
   ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
   │  Click + Shift+Click ......... select range            │
   │  ⌘ / Ctrl + Click ............ add to selection        │
   │  Tab .......................... indent selection       │
   │  Shift + Tab .................. outdent selection      │
   │  Drag ......................... reorder selection      │
   │  ⌘ / Ctrl + Shift + ↑ / ↓ .... keyboard reorder        │
   │  ⌘ / Ctrl + Enter ............ complete selection      │
   └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I drag and drop multiple tasks at once in Taskade?

Yes. Select multiple tasks by clicking and dragging or using Shift+Click, then drag the entire selection to reorder them within the project. This multi-select drag-and-drop works in List and other views for fast bulk reorganization of tasks.

### Can I indent multiple tasks at once in Taskade?

Yes. Select multiple tasks, then press Tab to indent or Shift+Tab to outdent them all simultaneously. This lets you quickly restructure project hierarchies by moving groups of tasks under a parent item or promoting them to a higher level.

### How does workspace filtering work in Taskade?

Use the workspace filter to narrow your view by assignee or #tag. This helps you quickly find tasks assigned to specific team members or tagged with particular categories, without scrolling through the entire workspace or opening individual projects.

### Does Taskade support bulk task reordering?

Yes. Taskade supports multiple methods for bulk reordering: select multiple tasks and drag to a new position, use Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Arrow to move items with keyboard shortcuts, or indent/outdent multiple items at once with Tab and Shift+Tab.
