Aha! Whiteboards | Recurring to-dos

By default, a to-do is oriented around a single due date. But a recurring to-do can serve as a great reminder to complete tasks you perform on a regular basis. You can set a to-do to recur daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or on a custom schedule.

Recurrence

The next occurrence of a recurring to-do will be created in one of two scenarios (whichever comes first):

When everyone assigned to the current to-do has completed it.
When you reach the current to-do's Due date.

Notes

A few more details are helpful in knowing what to expect when you set a recurring to-do:

Every instance of a recurring to-do will use the original to-do's Name and Description.
When you edit a recurring to-do's Name, Description, Due date, or Assignee(s), you will have the option to apply your changes to future to-dos. Once you have finished editing, you will see an option at the top of the to-do to Update future to-dos.
When you delete a recurring to-do, you will have the option to Delete the single to-do or Delete and stop recurring.
If a to-do is never completed, the recurring to-do will still be created — but it will not be created until the due date of its preceding to-do.
