Restore a dismissed task when you dismissed it by mistake or when it applies again. The task goes back to your open list.

Steps

  1. In the left menu, click Tasks.
  2. Scroll below the lists to the section Dismissed. If the page has no such section, you have no dismissed tasks.
  3. Click Dismissed to open the section.
  4. Find the task. The row shows "Dismissed" and your reason, if you gave one.
  5. Click Restore.

What you see next

The task leaves the Dismissed section. It returns to the open list All and to its own list, Roadmap or Action Plan. It counts in your progress again.

Good to know

  • Right after you dismiss a task, the message offers Undo. That is faster than a restore.
  • The section holds only the tasks that you dismissed. Tasks that the system retired do not show there.
  • You can restore only a dismissed task. For a done task, read How do I reopen a completed task?.

⚠️ If the task does not come back: Refresh the page and look in All. If the message says "That didn't save", read Why did a task change fail to save?.
