Formatting Projects

Quick reference

• 00:04 Hello, everyone, and welcome back to this GoSkills course all about Todoist.
• 00:08 Now in the last feature, we discussed about creating your first project.
• 00:13 And, of course, that's a very valuable thing.
• 00:15 As you can see on the left-hand side,
• 00:17 you'll be able to see all of your projects in action.
• 00:20 And I want to demonstrate some of the formatting functions and a little bit more
• 00:23 of the advanced functions of using projects as you go about your day.
• 00:27 Once you are able to do this,
• 00:29 you'll be able to manage your projects a little easily, and
• 00:32 it becomes more structured when you're using and setting up new projects.
• 00:36 So as you can see here, you can use the tap to open up any projects and,
• 00:41 expand them right here.
• 00:42 Now, in the last session, we created birthday and, what I want to demonstrate
• 00:47 is how you can use the Indian function to create the perfect setup.
• 00:52 Now, you're probably wondering, why I didn't include that inside of personal,
• 00:56 maybe the birthday's a personal tasks that I want.
• 00:59 So, of course,
• 01:00 as we demonstrated last time, you can change the order of your projects.
• 01:04 But the one thing you can do inside the project options,
• 01:07 clicking Edit project you can create indent.
• 01:10 So an indent is going inwards will be created like that.
• 01:15 And as you can see, it will nest underneath this project here.
• 01:19 If I was to click this button here,
• 01:21 the indent out, I'll be able to see it appear back where it left off.
• 01:26 So you can have as many indents as you'd like.
• 01:28 Once I click save, you see it comes part of the personal section.
• 01:34 If I click on personal,
• 01:35 you should be able to see the project available inside of this nest.
• 01:39 This is a great way to organize if you have like a project that is over arching
• 01:44 a couple of other projects, or you have different categories to your project.
• 01:49 Now this is a great way of doing it.
• 01:51 Now for example, if I wanted to create a new project like Conference for
• 01:55 example, and title this one Conference and
• 01:59 give it a color, I could indent this one and add project.
• 02:03 Then as you can here, the conference appears underneath the work based items.
• 02:09 Now once I go to the inbox, I can drag this task into the conference section and
• 02:13 it becomes available there.
• 02:14 So you should be able to see the task just below that.
• 02:17 Now there is a way of adding even more detail to this.
• 02:20 As you can see, you can hide them, but if you want to open them up, you can.
• 02:24 But in this case, I do actually want to pin one of these projects,
• 02:28 and I want to pin conference to this left-hand panel.
• 02:31 Now, you can do that quite easily.
• 02:33 You should be able to see a setting called add to favorites.
• 02:37 Once you click add to favorites, it appears below the next seven days.
• 02:41 And you can do this with any projects, labels and filters.
• 02:45 It's really easy to do this, too.
• 02:46 Any given point, if you want to, for example,
• 02:49 let's say the birthday finished, archive, a certain item or project you can do so.
• 02:54 Now if I click archive, it will go into the archive project section.
• 02:58 As you can see here, I've got a few demonstrations of previous projects.
• 03:02 You can click in and
• 03:03 actually see all of the different items that you have in there.
• 03:06 It won't be clickable but
• 03:08 you can restore the project if you want using the Unarchive tab.
• 03:13 Now, this is useful in case you create a project, so you want to create template.
• 03:17 In this demonstration,
• 03:18 I've actually going to delete this one because I no longer need it.
• 03:21 Deleting the project is really easy.
• 03:23 You just have to select Delete, and that will be fully deleted from your account.
• 03:27 You can hide Archived if you want to go after that, too.
• 03:31 Now, of course, these are small additions, but they're very helpful when using your
• 03:34 Todoist account, and especially once you get going with projects.
• 03:38 So hopefully, that was a nice overview.
• 03:40 We're going to be diving into sharing projects in the next feature.
