I wish this would work, but it doesn't for me - I am not able to assign a task to myself, only to team members. Is that a bug? Does anyone else have the same problem?

[@ggabriel4178]

Does not work

[@MickSC47]

When I hovered my mouth over to the left, I couldn’t get that selection to show up. @ tasks didn’t work for me in doc either

[@michellecurtin994]

I’m the same 😢

[@nathanmeisner5557]

Me too...@@michellecurtin994

[@nathanmeisner5557]

Me too

[@tinatongen1561]

Did you try it without a space: @tasks ?

[@thomasshakelton]

Assign tasks from Google Docs Tasks in Docs are only available for eligible work or school accounts, and the account you’re signed into might not be eligible.

To the person reading this: Even though I don’t know you, I wish you the best of what life has to offer ❤

They need to make this feature available on personal workspace accounts. I have a business account but I don't use it as my main account. I thought about switching all my stuff to the business account, but after doing some research doesn't seem like a good idea. I wouldn't even mind paying to have it available on my personal account as long as they threw in some extra features.

[@monkeydluffy2063]

just curious, what works in your personal workspace account that is not in business account? I assume you mean a free gmail account, or is it a paid individual workspace subscription?

[@nathanmeisner5557]

I have an education account... and it doesn't seem to work...

[@CreatedbyBam]

@@nathanmeisner5557 I had the same issue. I don't think it's available

[@anandamayakrishnadas657]

Excellent feature. When will this be available in sheets as I would like to assign tasks straight from my project plan

[@byronj.guevaralopez3515]

I dont get the task hover feature I just get the check box

[@shaheerjameel5492]

I have a professional Google account and can’t assign tasks to people outside my organization. My business often outsource work and need to assign them tasks. Can you please help in this regard? Furthermore I would love if Google add features like timer, time tracking, kanban board, timeline view like they are in Asana into Google tasks. In fact it would attract many new customers of Google professional accounts. Please do help me in regards of assigning tasks to people outside my organization in docs.

[@OttoRocket1993]

Same problem... seems google customer service takes more then 5 months to reply... "Question? Just post them in the comments :)"

[@monkeydluffy2063]

I suspect these are targeted towards enterprise customers who would have everyone integrated in their google workspace (not feasible for small or even sometimes medium sized businesses)

[@pleabargain]

Useful and LONG overdue.

[@googleworkspace]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GreenGarden-gr7oh]

How can each task be linked to the spaces and how to make the tasks there in recurring spaces?

[@juliahuanlingtong6757]

How do I flash out all the tasks on the right of the google docs as shown in the video demo?

[@IAmSam_TheMan]

can anyone exp lain to me why google docs on mobile(android) when you type in @ you dont get any promps like you would in the desktop version? is it just me? does it work on other mobile devices? and I pay for google workspace.

[@knrking2]

There is no +task and @task didn't work to make a list. I can make the square instead of bullet, but that is it.

[@robertschuurman]

Is it only working in Google Workspace?

[@hudiefireeradam9812]

Thanks for great I would be likely to showing the experience 😮

[@RaidLoalMulticraft_YT]

Hello I need a new google docs admin and I wonder if that interest you in anyway?

[@JenRuppel]

How do you add sub tasks from a google doc?

[@SilvioBritto]

Excellent

[@user-mn1hk6ig2s]

Can you assign a task to more than one person in this context? Is it possible to view tasks in a kanban board style?

[@HendrikBrenner]

That would be a nice feature. In fact, that would slowly make it all usable in real life. Let's see if they will drive development into that direction.

[@thomasshakelton]

For anyone asking If it does not work this is the answer: Assign tasks from Google Docs Tasks in Docs are only available for eligible work or school accounts, and the account you’re signed into isn't eligible.

[@pharmlord]

Thank you!

[@CristiMo]

Cand puteti face ca participantii la o lista in Google Keep sa poata fie edita lista/nota fie sa poata doar vizualiza lista/nota, asemanator cu gestionarea fisierelor google docs, sheets etc?

[@christiesutton2764]

mine only shows date and dropdown. is this because I am not a premium user? Is there something I can do to add them?

[@johnnyoshika5920]

If I already have a task created in my task list (but not in a document), how do I insert that task into a document?

[@RaidLoalMulticraft_YT]

Hello I need a new google docs admin and I wonder if that interest you in anyway?

[@seapanda-117]

Will this show up on calendars like other tasks?

[@thomasshakelton]

Can you make these tasks recurring?

[@kbassily89]

Why no search in the Google Tasks app?

[@TukuStore]

Thank you

[@michaelreekie959]

This does not apply to the educational version of google.. :(

[@bsgbest]

When will these features come to mobile?

[@muafaa]

When googe task api have due time on it???

[@CupcakyIsHot]

hey google do u read comments? is it true that you check out webcam every 5 minutes?

[@mohamedseddig5878]

Google Docs It does not work constantly. It turns off the microphone listening when you click the mouse. On the other hand, when stop the mp3 recorder. Please improve the service in turning on the microphone continuously. Communicate without stopping so that I can replay the audio clip. Thank you, Google.

When google labs is coming to india 🙂

Hi

[@vikrantsinghhada7081]

Google task अच्छा ऐप है लेकिन इसमें improvement के chances हैं जब मेने task में time edit किया तो अगले दिन वह amended time पर ना आकर same उसी टाइम पर नोटिफिकेशन आया जिस पर initially save किया था। Only for a day,,, amended time valid रहता है फिर वापस वही time जो starting में सेट किया था उसी टाइम पर नोटिफिकेशन आता है। इसमें एक और bug है कि इसमें यह पता नहीं चलता है कि कौन-कौन से टास्क छूट गए हैं या अधूरे रह गए हैं जैसे 10 task हैं लेकिन 6 ही task पूरे दिन भर में complete कर पाए तो बाकी के 4 task तो pending रह गए वो pending task जैसा कोई option नही है,, इससे हमे हमारी progress को ट्रैक करने में कठिनाई होती है,,,, सिर्फ completed tasks ही दिखाई देते हैं I hope,,,,google will work on this issues
