# Organize Work with Flowtask Projects and Sections

> Use Flowtask projects to group related tasks. Add sections, switch between list and Kanban board, and drag tasks across columns.

Projects give you a dedicated space to collect related tasks under a single name — a product launch, a client engagement, a personal goal, or anything else you want to track together. Within each project you can add sections to break work into phases, and toggle between a familiar list view and a visual Kanban board.

## Creating a project

Click **+ New Project** in the left sidebar, or navigate to **My Projects** and click the **New Project** button in the top-right corner. Give the project a name and press `Enter` to save it. The project appears in the sidebar immediately and is ready for tasks.

## Inbox

Every Flowtask account includes a built-in **Inbox** project. Any task created without an explicit project assignment lands here automatically. Think of the Inbox as your capture bucket — a place to collect tasks quickly and sort them into projects later.

The Inbox cannot be renamed or deleted.

## Adding tasks to a project

You can assign a project to a task in two ways:

* **At creation time** — expand the project field in the task creation form and select a project from the dropdown.
* **After creation** — open the task detail panel, click the **Project** field, and choose a different project. The task moves instantly.

## Sections

Sections split a project into logical groups — phases like *To Do*, *In Progress*, and *Done*, or categories like *Design* and *Engineering*.

To add a section, open a project and click **+ Add Section** at the bottom of the list (or between existing sections). Enter a name and press `Enter`.

In **board view**, each section becomes a column, giving you a visual Kanban layout out of the box.

## List vs board view

Switch between views using the display selector in the top-right corner of any project page.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="List view" icon="list">
    A linear, top-to-bottom layout. Best for detailed task management, reviewing descriptions, and working through tasks sequentially.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Board view" icon="table-columns">
    A Kanban-style layout where each section is a column. Best for tracking progress across stages and getting a high-level overview.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Your view preference is saved per project, so you can use list view in one project and board view in another.

## Drag-and-drop in board view

In board view, drag a task card from one column to another to reassign it to a different section. Drag within a column to change its position relative to other tasks. Changes save automatically.

<Tip>Drag tasks to the leftmost column to move them back to an earlier stage without opening the task detail panel.</Tip>

## Managing sections

To manage an existing section, hover over the section header to reveal the options menu (**⋯**):

| Action      | Description                                                                  |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Rename**  | Give the section a new name                                                  |
| **Reorder** | Drag the section header to move the entire section and its tasks             |
| **Delete**  | Remove the section; tasks inside are moved to the project's unsectioned area |

## Deleting a project

Open the project, click the **⋯** menu in the project header, and select **Delete Project**. Confirm in the dialog that appears.

<Note>Deleting a project permanently removes all its tasks. Export or move tasks first if needed.</Note>

To move tasks before deleting, open each task's detail panel and reassign the project field, or use bulk selection to move several tasks at once.
