Summary

Collaborators are the people attached to a task so the work stays visible to everyone involved. Asana lets you add them from the task details pane without leaving the project list.

Step-by-step guide

Step 1
Open the task details
Open your project in List view and point at the task row. Click the arrow at the right end of the row to open the details pane for that task.
Step 2
Click the collaborators button
At the top of the details pane, next to the **Share** button, click **Add or remove collaborators**. A panel opens with a **Members** list.
Step 3
Type the collaborator's email
Click the field in the **Members** panel and type the teammate's email address. Use an address you are sure about, since the panel works from exactly what you type.
Step 4
Select the invite option for the address
A suggestion starting with **Invite:** appears below the field, followed by the address you typed. Check the address in that option before you select it to add the person.

Why this matters

You have a task that needs a second pair of eyes, such as a plan update waiting on approval. Adding that person as a collaborator puts them on the task itself, so the work and the conversation stay in one place.
