Tasks: Track everything you ask Biscuit to do

A task is anything you ask Biscuit to do: build a new app, add a feature to an existing one, or change how something works. Tasks give you one place to see what’s waiting, what Biscuit is working on, and what needs your review, across your own work and your team’s.

​

Where to find your tasks

When you sign in, you land on My tasks. This board shows the tasks created for you or owned by you. Each space also has its own task board. Open a space and select Tasks to see everything happening in that team’s space.

​

Creating a new task

You can create a task in two ways: from the task board, or by editing an app.

​

1. From the task board

Use this when you want to plan an app or a feature, whether you start it now or later.

1. Click Create task.
   
2. Describe what you want. For example: “Build an invoice tracking tool for our operations team that generates invoices from the template I’ve attached.”
   
3. Optionally, click Attach file to add reference material, such as a PDF template, a screenshot, or a spreadsheet.
4. Choose the space the task belongs to, for example Accounting team. Leave it on Auto and Biscuit picks the space based on what you asked for.
   
5. Turn Auto start on to have Biscuit start building as soon as you create the task. Turn it off to keep the task in Todo until you’re ready.
6. Click Create. Biscuit may suggest improvements to your description before you create the task. Use them or ignore them.

​

2. By editing an app

Every change you ask for in an app also becomes a task.

1. Open the app and click Edit.
   
2. Type the change you want_._ Attach files if needed.
3. Press Enter to send. The change appears as a task on the task board of the app’s space, so your team can see what’s being changed and by whom.
   

​

Task stages

Every task moves through four stages:

Stage	What it means
Todo	Not started yet, or you’re still shaping it.
In progress	Biscuit is working on it.
To review	Biscuit has finished and needs you to check the changes or answer a question.
Done	The task is complete.

Tasks move between stages on their own as Biscuit works. You can also move them yourself: drag a task to another column, or select several tasks and move them together.

​

Reviewing and approving a task

When a task reaches To review, Biscuit is waiting for you.

1. Open the task. It shows a preview of your app with the change applied. Go to the screen the task affected and check that it now works the way you asked. For example, if the task removed a filter from your app’s home screen, open the home screen to confirm the filter is gone.
2. If the change looks right, choose how to finish the task:
   • Approve and Publish: the task moves to Done and the change goes live in your app straight away.
     
   • Approve: the task moves to Done, but the change isn’t published yet. Use this when you want to make more changes through other tasks and publish them all together later.
3. If it’s not what you wanted, tell Biscuit in the task and it goes back to In progress and returns to To review when the new version is ready.

​

Filtering and sorting the board

When several tasks are running at once, use the filters at the top of the board:

• All tasks: every task, whether you, a teammate, or Biscuit created it.
• Created by me: only the tasks you created.
• Needs my attention: tasks waiting on you, such as an approval or an unanswered question from Biscuit. To keep the board tidy, choose whether to show only the latest tasks or all of them, and hide tasks you don’t need to see.
  
• You can also order tasks within each column, for example by status or by Last updated.
