# Adding/Cloning Tasks

Cloning from another Task may be useful if you have a similar previous Task, as it’ll save time by copying over most information from that Task, such as the status and comments. To create a new Task, follow these steps:

### Add a new task

* In the Task Page, click the plus (+) icon in the top right corner of your screen.&#x20;

* Enter a task name: Give your new task a clear and descriptive name.&#x20;
* Select Source Task: A window or drop-down menu will appear where you can select the existing task you want to copy.

### Clone customization

* Please tick or untick the checkbox to copy members and checklist from the original task.
* Once you have selected your copy options, click ‘Submit' to finish creating the new task.

**Tip:** *Cloning is a great way to reuse information from previous tasks without having to start from scratch. Remember to customize the clone task with any specific details needed for the new project.*
