How to mark a task as complete in Asana

Summary

Marking a task complete tells your team the work is done and takes it out of the pile of open work. In Asana you can do it from the task details pane, and the list updates straight away.

Step-by-step guide

1. Step 1

   Open your project

   In the sidebar, click your project. This guide uses **Work requests**. The project opens with its tasks grouped into sections in the **List** view.

2. Step 2

   Open the task

   Hover the row of the task you finished, such as **Request resource allocation**. Click the arrow at the right end of the row to open the task details beside the list.

3. Step 3

   Click Mark complete

   At the top left of the task details, click **Mark complete**. The task details show the task name, assignee, due date, and description below the button.

4. Step 4

   Confirm it is marked complete

   The button now reads **Completed**, and the task activity records that the task was marked complete. Click **Close details** to return to the list.

5. Step 5

   See the finished task in the list

   Back in the list, the task's check circle is green and its name is greyed out. That tells you at a glance that the task is done.
