Collaborative to-do lists

Zulip supports creating shared to-do lists where any user who can access the message can add tasks by entering the task's title and description, and clicking Add task. Once created, task titles and descriptions cannot be edited. The task list title can be edited any time by the to-do list's creator.

Create a to-do list

  • Instructions for all platforms

  1. Open the compose box.

  2. Make sure the compose box is empty.

  3. Type /todo followed by a space, and the title of the to-do list.

  4. (optional) Type each task on a new line, with its description, if any, after a :.

  5. Click the Send () button, or use a keyboard shortcut to send your message.

You will be able to add tasks after the to-do list is created.
