# See the tasks you took on

When a meeting is written up, Recordstead looks in its transcript for work you took on or were asked to do and lists it on **Home** under **Your tasks**. Each task shows the meeting, the words it came from and how long ago they were said, newest first. To see what has waited longest, click **Newest First** at the top of the card and choose **Oldest First**. The **Summary Ready** notification also says how many are yours.

A line counts as yours when it carries the name set in **People** under **Your name**. Tasks are written by AI, so check them against the quoted words.


## Check off a task

1. Open **Home**.
2. In **Your tasks**, select the checkbox next to the task.

**Your result:** the task is done on Home and in its meeting's transcript. Tasks you finish today wait under a button at the end of the list; from tomorrow they stay only in the transcript. Clear the checkbox to reopen a task.

## See where a task came from

Click the task. The meeting opens in its **Transcript** tab, where the task sits under the line it came from, marked **Your task**. You can check it off there too.

## Remove something that is not a task

Point at the task and click **Remove** where its age was, or right-click it and choose **Remove**. It leaves Home and the transcript and does not come back. Press ⌘Z to undo.

## Find tasks in an older meeting

Open **Meetings**, right-click a meeting from before this feature or one whose transcript you corrected, and choose **Find Tasks**. Tasks you finished or removed stay as they are.

## If no tasks appear

- Check that **Your name** matches the name your lines carry in the transcript.
- Tasks are found after each summary by the provider chosen in **Settings** › **Summary**, so a meeting kept as a transcript only gets none.
- Home lists the tasks of the workspace that is open; switch workspaces to see the others.
- If no meeting gave you work, there is nothing to list and the card says **No open tasks**.
