Taskade's editor layout lets you switch between views (List, Board, Mind Map, Org Chart, Calendar, etc.) with a single click from the view switcher at the top of the project. Your content stays the same β€” only the visual layout changes, with no data loss or reformatting. ### Does Taskade have a referral program? Yes. Taskade's referral program lets you earn $10 in credits for every person you invite who joins the platform. Credits can be applied toward upgrading to the Unlimited Plan, effectively letting you earn a premium subscription for free through referrals. ### Can I export Taskade projects to PDF? Yes. Taskade supports exporting any project to PDF format. The exported PDF preserves your project's structure, formatting, and hierarchy β€” ideal for sharing project plans, meeting notes, or documentation with people outside your Taskade workspace. ### Does Taskade support nested sub-tasks in mind maps? Yes. Mind Map view supports nested sub-tasks, so you can create multi-level hierarchies within mind map nodes. Each branch can contain its own sub-branches and tasks, making it easy to break complex ideas into detailed, actionable components during brainstorming sessions.
