# To-Do List **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/2817) in GitLab 8.5.
|
|
|
|
Your *To-Do List* is a chronological list of items waiting for your input.
|
|
The items are known as *to-do items*.
|
|
|
|
You can use the To-Do List to track [actions](#actions-that-create-to-do-items) related to:
|
|
|
|
- [Issues](project/issues/index.md)
|
|
- [Merge requests](project/merge_requests/index.md)
|
|
- [Epics](group/epics/index.md)
|
|
- [Designs](project/issues/design_management.md)
|
|
|
|
## Access the To-Do List
|
|
|
|
To access your To-Do List:
|
|
|
|
On the top bar, in the top right, select To-Do List (**{task-done}**).
|
|
|
|
## Actions that create to-do items
|
|
|
|
Many to-do items are created automatically.
|
|
A to-do item is added to your To-Do List when:
|
|
|
|
- An issue or merge request is assigned to you.
|
|
- You're [mentioned](project/issues/issue_data_and_actions.md#mentions) in the description or
|
|
comment of an issue, merge request, or epic.
|
|
- You are mentioned in a comment on a commit or design.
|
|
- The CI/CD pipeline for your merge request fails.
|
|
- An open merge request cannot be merged due to conflict, and one of the
|
|
following is true:
|
|
- You're the author.
|
|
- You're the user that set the merge request to automatically merge after a
|
|
pipeline succeeds.
|
|
- [In GitLab 13.2](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/12136) and later, a
|
|
merge request is removed from a
|
|
[merge train](../ci/pipelines/merge_trains.md),
|
|
and you're the user that added it.
|
|
|
|
When several actions occur for the same user on the same object,
|
|
GitLab displays the first action as a single to-do item.
|
|
|
|
To-do items aren't affected by [GitLab notification email settings](profile/notifications.md).
|
|
|
|
## Create a to-do item
|
|
|
|
You can manually add an item to your To-Do List.
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your:
|
|
|
|
- [Issue](project/issues/index.md)
|
|
- [Merge request](project/merge_requests/index.md)
|
|
- [Epic](group/epics/index.md)
|
|
- [Design](project/issues/design_management.md)
|
|
|
|
1. On the right sidebar, at the top, select **Add a to do**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Create a to-do item by directly addressing someone
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/7926) in GitLab 9.0.
|
|
|
|
You can create a to-do item by directly addressing someone at the start of a line.
|
|
For example, in the following comment:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
@alice What do you think? cc: @bob
|
|
|
|
- @carol can you please have a look?
|
|
|
|
>>>
|
|
@dan what do you think?
|
|
>>>
|
|
|
|
@erin @frank thank you!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The people who receive to-do items are `@alice`, `@erin`, and
|
|
`@frank`.
|
|
|
|
To view to-do items where a user was directly addressed, go to the To-Do List and
|
|
from the **Action** filter, select **Directly addressed**.
|
|
|
|
Mentioning a user many times only creates one to-do item.
|
|
|
|
## Actions that mark a to-do item as done
|
|
|
|
Any action to an issue, merge request, or epic marks its
|
|
corresponding to-do item as done.
|
|
|
|
Actions that dismiss to-do items include:
|
|
|
|
- Changing the assignee
|
|
- Changing the milestone
|
|
- Closing the issue or merge request
|
|
- Adding or removing a label
|
|
- Commenting on the issue
|
|
- Resolving a [design discussion thread](project/issues/design_management.md#resolve-design-threads)
|
|
|
|
If someone else closes, merges, or takes action on an issue, merge request, or
|
|
epic, your to-do item remains pending.
|
|
|
|
## Mark a to-do item as done
|
|
|
|
You can manually mark a to-do item as done.
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to do this:
|
|
|
|
- In the To-Do List, to the right of the to-do item, select **Done**.
|
|
- In the sidebar of an issue, merge request, or epic, select **Mark as done**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Mark all to-do items as done
|
|
|
|
You can mark all your to-do items as done at the same time.
|
|
|
|
In the To-Do List, in the top right, select **Mark all as done**.
|
|
|
|
## How a user's To-Do List is affected when their access changes
|
|
|
|
For security reasons, GitLab deletes to-do items when a user no longer has access to a related resource.
|
|
For example, if the user no longer has access to an issue, merge request, epic, project, or group,
|
|
GitLab deletes the related to-do items.
|
|
|
|
This process occurs in the hour after their access changes. Deletion is delayed to
|
|
prevent data loss, in case the user's access was accidentally revoked.
