The work plan

The work plan is a canvas of the entries you star. Lay them out, group them, draw around them and connect them, to plan your week or think a project through.

The work plan is part of the Pro plan. Open it from Work plan in the sidebar.

A new version is on the way

The work plan is being rebuilt. Full help will follow when the new version ships. Until then, this page covers the basics of the current canvas.

Star an entry to add it

The work plan shows the entries you star:

  • Star an entry, in a list, a table or the detail panel, and it appears as a card on your first board. The first board’s tab says New starred items go here when you point at it.
  • Unstar an entry and its card goes.
  • The toolbar can add a batch at once: this week’s tasks, overdue tasks, all tasks with due dates, or all projects. Adding them stars them.

Cards always show the entry as it is now. Click a card to open its entry in the detail panel.

Boards

You can have more than one board, shown as tabs:

  • Click + (Add new board) to add one.
  • Double-click a tab to rename it.
  • Move a card to another board from its menu, or with the arrows on the card.
  • A board can only be deleted once it is empty, and you always keep at least one.

What you can put on a board

  • Cards for your starred entries. Drag them, resize them from the corner, and right-click for colour, opacity, duplicate and move.
  • Sticky notes for quick thoughts.
  • Text labels for headings.
  • Shapes: line, arrow, box and circle.
  • Pen (draws behind cards) and Highlighter (draws over cards).
  • Connectors: point at a card to show its connection points, then drag from one to another card. Double-click a connector to remove it.

Use the controls on the canvas to reset the zoom, hide completed tasks, clear the canvas and go fullscreen. Clearing the canvas unstars every entry on it, and cannot be undone.

Your work plan saves as you go, and shows on your other devices.
