Work items

A work item is the durable record for a note or something a project needs to complete, answer, approve, review, or decide. Use entries for updates and supporting detail.

Fields

Field	Purpose
Title	Short description of the work.
Type	Kind of work or decision.
Status	Current state, based on the type.
Priority and due date	Optional urgency and target date.
Parent	Optional place in the project outline.
Assignees	Users or teams responsible for the item.

Types and statuses

Type	Starting status	Available statuses
NOTE	OPEN	OPEN, IN_PROGRESS, BLOCKED, DONE, CANCELLED
TASK, REVIEW	OPEN	OPEN, IN_PROGRESS, BLOCKED, DONE, CANCELLED
QUESTION	OPEN	OPEN, WAITING, ANSWERED, CANCELLED
APPROVAL	PENDING	PENDING, APPROVED, REJECTED, CANCELLED
DECISION	OPEN	OPEN, IN_PROGRESS, DONE, CANCELLED

BLOCKED means progress is stopped by another item. Record the cause with a BLOCKED_BY relationship.

A NOTE appears as a title-only row in the workspace tree. Its regular fields remain available in the inspector when needed.

Hierarchy and assignments

Children can be nested, moved, and reordered. Use a parent for structure and a relationship for dependency. An item can be assigned to users, teams, or both; team assignments also appear in the assignees' My Work views.

In the workspace, type badges distinguish tasks and decisions, while update counts, priority badges, and blocker labels make triage visible from the tree. Select an item to edit its fields in the inspector.

Work items are durable records in the project tree; entries and relationships hang off them as context.

The inspector is the manual editing surface for a selected item. Update the title, type, status, due date, priority, or assignees, then save the changes without leaving the project tree.

The inspector exposes the fields that define ownership and progress.

Editors can create and update work items. Ask AI can propose changes, but the proposal does not change the project until it is accepted.
