Follow/Watch a Task

This feature is available to all users


Watching
 a task allows you to stay updated on the task's progress, even if it isn't assigned to you. Task watchers receive notifications when a comment is added to the task, when the task is completed, or when they are directly mentioned in a comment or checklist item in the task.


What is a Task Watcher?

Task watchers receive notifications when a comment is added to the task, when the task is completed, or when they are directly mentioned in a comment or checklist item in the task.

Every user who participates in a task will be automatically added as a Watcher. You'll become a watcher if:

While a task can have only one assignee, it can have an unlimited number of watchers. Becoming a watcher is a great way for multiple collaborators and stakeholders to stay updated on a task's progress, even if the task is not assigned to them.


Add/Remove Task Watchers

  2. Click the watchers widget on the right side of the task window.
