Every checklist can be changed to fit your book. Open the checklist in Launch Checklist first.
Add an item
- Go to the section you want the item in.
- Click + Add item at the bottom of the section.
- Type the item and press Enter, or click Add.
Set a due date on an item
- Hover over the item and click the calendar icon (Set due date).
- Pick a date.
The date appears next to the item. It turns red if the date has passed and the item isn't done. To remove it, hover over the date and click the x (Clear due date).
Move an item to another section
- Hover over the item and click the arrows icon (Move to phase).
- Choose the section from the Move to… list.
The item goes to the end of that section.
Reorder items and sections
- Drag an item by the handle on its left to move it up or down within its section.
- Drag a section by the handle next to its name to move the whole section.
Dragging is turned off while there's text in Search items…. Clear the search to reorder.
Add a section
You have two options:
- Click Add Section at the top of the checklist, type a name, and press Enter. This adds an empty section of your own.
- Click a card under Add a section on the right. Each card adds a group of ready-made tasks, such as Planning, Beta Readers or Launch, plus any sections you've saved yourself.
A ready-made card adds its tasks even if the checklist already has them, so check for duplicates if you click one twice.
Rename or delete a section
Hover over the section's name:
- Click the pencil icon (Rename section) to rename it. Only sections you added yourself can be renamed.
- Click the trash icon (Delete section) to delete it and every item in it. You'll be asked to confirm, and you can undo it from the message that appears.
Delete an item
Hover over the item and click the trash icon (Delete item). Items are deleted straight away, without a confirmation, so take care.
