Projects & lists

Projects are the top level of your workspace; lists divide a project into the buckets that suit it. Both are quick to make, rename, reorder, and remove — and there’s one deliberate rule about lists that keeps everything tidy.

Projects

A project is a body of work or an area of life — Marketing site, Engineering, Personal. Make one from the New project button at the bottom of the sidebar, give it a name, and it appears in the list of projects with a place to start adding lists and tasks.

Projects in the sidebar. Drag to reorder; a people icon marks the ones you share.
Create
New projectin the sidebar footer. Name it and it’s ready.
Rename
Open the project’s menu and rename in place — the change applies everywhere at once.
Reorder
Drag a project up or down in the sidebar to set the order you want to see them in.
Delete
Sends the project to the Bin with an Undo toast. Nothing is gone for good until the Bin is emptied.
Leave
On a project shared with you, Leaveremoves it from your sidebar without affecting anyone else’s copy.

The project view

Open a project to see its lists and tasks together in one view, with the always-available add bar at the bottom. It’s the home base for that body of work — everything in the project, in one place, ready to sort and group however you like.

Ownership & sharing

Every project has exactly one owner — the person responsible for it. When a project is shared with other people, a small people icon appears next to its name in the sidebar so you can tell at a glance which projects are collaborative and which are just yours. The full story of invites and roles lives in Sharing & roles.

Lists

Lists live inside a project and split it into the buckets it needs — phases like Launch checklist and Post-launch, or workstreams, or simple groupings. Each list shows a count of its open tasks, so you can see where the work is piling up without opening anything.

Create
New list in the sidebar footer adds a list to the current project.
Rename
Rename a list from its menu; tasks inside it stay put.
Reorder
Drag lists within a project to order them the way the work flows.
Delete
Goes to the Bin with Undo, same as projects.

Lists stay with their project

Here’s the one rule worth remembering: a list is locked to the project it was made in. You can rename it, reorder it, or delete it — but you can’t move a list into a different project. Projects are real boundaries (people, sharing, ownership), and a list belongs to exactly one of them.
