Talk Tasks [NEW]

It's often the case that comments within Talk inline comments contain actionable items, but 

• Without highlighting it, some tasks mentioned in the comments might not be recognized as tasks.
• With multiple participants engaged in a discussion, it can be unclear who is responsible for a particular task.
• When comments and comments with tasks don't have distinct separation, it's quite challenging to find and keep track of tasks.

Here is where Talk Tasks steps in, serving as your go-to for enhancing task management in comments.

Use Cases

• Project Management:
  • minimize missed to-dos by transforming relevant inline comments into actionable tasks.
  • focus on tracking only project-specific tasks within Talk Report, instead of all discussions.
• Content Review and Editing: facilitate a workflow where multiple collaborators need to approve a document. Reduce confusion on who needs to do what by designating specific parts of the document for review to particular individuals.
