# Sub-task

Subtasks help break a task into smaller, actionable steps so your team can execute work more clearly and efficiently.

## Step 1: Open a task

Go to Tasks

Select the task you want to update

Subtask.mp4

## Step 2: Add a subtask

Click Add sub-task

Enter the subtask details:

Subtask title

Assignee - choose a team member in your organization

Due date

## Step 3: Create the subtask

Click Create to save the subtask.

The subtask will now appear under the main task and can be tracked independently while staying connected to the parent task.
