Frequently Asked Questions

Can I format multiple tasks at once in Taskade?

Yes. Multiselect lets you highlight, bold, italicize, underline, and complete multiple tasks simultaneously. You can also change the block format (task, bullet, paragraph) for multiple items at once, saving time when styling or reorganizing large project sections.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to reorder tasks in Taskade?

Yes. Press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Up/Down arrow keys to move selected tasks up or down in the project. This keyboard shortcut lets you reorder tasks without using the mouse, keeping you in a fast, keyboard-driven workflow.

Does Taskade show completed tasks in project chat?

Yes. When a task is completed, it automatically appears in the project chat feed with a timestamp and the name of the person who checked it off. This gives the entire team real-time visibility into task progress without checking the project directly.
