If you already keep your launch tasks in a notes app or document, you can paste them in when you create a checklist.

  1. Go to Launch Checklist and click + New Checklist.
  2. Enter the Book Title and choose a Checklist Type. Choose Blank List if you only want your own tasks.
  3. Next to Additional Items, click Import from text.
  4. Paste your list, with one task per line. Markdown checkboxes such as "- [ ] Order proof copy" and bullet points such as "- Order proof copy" are cleaned up for you.
  5. Click Import. You'll see how many items will be added. Click the x next to any you don't want.
  6. Click Create.

Good to know

  • Imported items are added to the Planning section. Use Move to phase on each item to put it in the right section afterwards.
  • Every imported item starts unticked, even if it was ticked ("- [x]") in your list.
  • Blank lines are skipped.
