Doing tasks

Once you have found a task:

1. Click on the task title (e.g. 'Import content') to go to that task's page.

2. Assign the task to yourself by clicking Assign to and choosing your name from the dropdown.

3. Read the instructions.

   • For 'Import content' tasks follow the instructions at Importing a document.
   • For 'Apply amendment' tasks follow the instructions at Amending works.
4. Once you have completed the task, click Submit for review. The content will be reviewed by a second editor. They may return it to you for changes or approve the task and publish the document – you will get an email notification either way.

Creating a task from a comment

One of the most common ways of creating a task to create it from a comment on a document.

1. Make a comment by selecting some text and clicking the speech bubble on the right-hand side of the page, writing the comment, and clicking 'Comment'.

2. Create a task by selecting 'Create task' from the drop-down in the top-right corner of the comment.

The task itself will have a preview of the part of the document where the comment was made.
