Hi Taskaders  🎉

We've worked hard to make Taskade work better for you! Here's what's new:

> **TL;DR:** Version history, autocomplete #tags, and Markdown in chat shipped in 2021 set the foundation for today's Taskade — now [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 with persistent memory across every revision.

> **Then → Now:** 2021's project version history evolved into today's [project history plus AI Agents that reference past versions](https://www.taskade.com/agents) and [Genesis](https://www.taskade.com/create) builds backed by Workspace DNA memory.

## ****************⚡️ ******Version History**********************

You can now recover deleted data by accessing your project's [version history](https://www.taskade.com/learn/projects/version-history). Simply browse previous versions, and select a snapshot to restore to.

## **⚡️** ******************Autocomplete #Tags******************

Tag management is here to help you organize and prioritize tasks! Simply type **#** to select from a list of previously used tags or create new ones on the spot!

## 🕰️ Version history → Workspace DNA memory

Restoring a deleted task in 2021 was the seed of [Workspace DNA memory](https://www.taskade.com/create) — every change is now part of the persistent context that AI Agents can read, summarize, and reason over.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Does Taskade have version history for projects?

Yes. Taskade's Version History lets you browse previous snapshots of any project and restore to an earlier state. This protects against accidental deletions, unwanted edits, and data loss — providing a full audit trail of every change made to the project over time.

### How do hashtags work in Taskade?

Type # followed by a keyword to tag any task. Taskade autocompletes from your previously used tags, or you can create new ones on the spot. Tags help you categorize, filter, and search across projects — and you can sort sub-tasks by #hashtag for better organization.

### Does Taskade support Markdown in chat and comments?

Yes. Taskade chat and comments support Markdown syntax for formatting messages. Use bold, italic, strikethrough, code blocks, blockquotes, and lists without a toolbar. This makes team communication cleaner and more structured, similar to Discord or Slack Markdown formatting.

### Can Viewer and Checker roles comment on Taskade projects?

Yes. Team members with Viewer and Checker role permissions can add comments to tasks in a project. This lets read-only users provide feedback and ask questions without being able to edit the project content itself.
