# Task Display

The Task View interface gives you two main views for managing task lists: List View and Kanban View. Each mode displays task information in a different way, helping you choose the one that best suits your needs.

### Switch Between View Modes

To switch between List Style and Kanban Style, click the 'Display' icon located in the top right corner, next to the "Settings" gear icon.

#### 👉 Live Edit

Some data fields, such as task name or status, let you edit column values ​​directly by clicking them. This feature saves you time compared to having to open task details to change information.

### Kanban View

The Kanban view displays tasks as cards that can be dragged and dropped between different status columns. The status columns displayed are based on the default status options you configured.
