Google took advantage of the launch of the new Gmail to jointly announce a redesigned version of Google Tasks. The task list tool is still integrated with the web email client, but has a redesigned look based on Material Design, in addition to new functions. The feature is now accessed from a fixed Gmail sidebar to offer a quick way to create simple lists online. For more elaborate notes, Google recommends Keep. See how to use the task list software on your PC.

Step 1. Google Tasks does not have its own page. To access it, I need to use the new Gmail. In the sidebar, Tasks is represented by a blue watch icon with a white hand. I need to click on the cone to open the program in the right panel.

Step 3. Type new tasks and click Enter to move to the next line and add more items. The pencil button, which appears when you pass the arrow over the elements, gives you access to edit the item's main attributes.

Step 4. In the new window, it is possible to add a longer text to detail the task. Another useful function is the addition of related subtasks. Click Add Date to set a delivery date with a reminder.

Step 5. Subtasks are also listed on the main screen. When completing each activity, check the items to remove them from the list. Any action can be easily undone in a notification in the footer.
