# 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.

* 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.*
{% endhint %}

👉 After creating a Task, you can edit information, update progress, add comments and perform many other operations in the [Task Detail Page](https://support.hivo.co/tasks/task-detail-page) to manage Tasks effectively.

With the new simple and easy-to-use Task creation feature, you can easily organize, manage and track work progress effectively in HIVO.
