# Tasks

> Create and manage tasks to request updates to descriptions, tags, and other data asset metadata — directly within Collate.

# Tasks

Tasks let you formally request updates to data asset metadata — such as descriptions or tags — and assign them to the right person or team. Tasks are tracked with a status and can be approved, rejected, or reassigned directly from the Inbox.

## Creat a Task

Tasks are created from the data asset page.

1. Click the request <img src="https://mintcdn.com/collatedocs/rZhhFXbbYu7NTMpy/public/images/ai-2.0/data-user-guide/request-des-icon.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=rZhhFXbbYu7NTMpy&q=85&s=a583ebaa83680b5014bc9543420880c3" style={{display: 'inline', height: '20px', verticalAlign: 'middle', margin: '0 4px'}} alt="Request Description icon" width="60" height="54" data-path="public/images/ai-2.0/data-user-guide/request-des-icon.png" /> icon next to a **Description** or **Tags** field to open the **Create Task** form.

## Managing Tasks in the Inbox

All tasks assigned to you or created by you are available in **Inbox** > **Tasks**.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/collatedocs/rZhhFXbbYu7NTMpy/public/images/ai-2.0/data-user-guide/activity-feeds-tasks-tab.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=rZhhFXbbYu7NTMpy&q=85&s=ae0c5130a1d0947a17e18f86eb1ac486" alt="Tasks tab on data asset" width="2822" height="1118" data-path="public/images/ai-2.0/data-user-guide/activity-feeds-tasks-tab.png" />

Use the filter tabs to scope the list:

* **All** — every task regardless of status
* **Open** (default) — tasks that still need action
* **Closed** — resolved or rejected tasks

Each tab shows a count badge. Selecting a task opens the detail panel on the right.

## Task Detail Panel

The detail panel shows:

* **Status** — current state of the task
* **Assignees** — who is responsible for resolving it
* **Description** — the proposed change with a diff view

Below the details, the **activity timeline** shows a full history of all actions taken on the task — approvals, rejections, reassignments, and comments.

## Acting on a Task

From the task detail panel, assignees can:

* **Approve** — accept the proposed change and close the task
* **Reject** — decline the request and close the task
* **Reassign** — transfer the task to a different user or team
* **Comment** — add a note to discuss the request further
