# Completing & editing tasks

> Move quickly through your list. Select and bulk edit many tasks at once, complete or cancel tasks, and review everything you have finished in the Logbook.

Capturing and organizing get tasks ready; this is where you act on them. Select many at once to triage in bulk, check things off as you go, and look back at what you have finished in the Logbook.

## Selecting and editing multiple tasks

When you are triaging a long list, you can select many tasks at once and act on all of them together. How you start a selection depends on your platform.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="macOS">
    `Cmd` + click tasks to add them to your selection, or `Shift` + click to select a range. Use **Select All** to grab everything in the current view, or start selection mode from the **Select** menu item. With several tasks selected, use the **Edit** menu (or right-click) to apply an action to all of them.

    </Frame>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="iOS">
    Tap **Select** to start selecting, then swipe across the tasks you want to add them to your selection. A toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen, and tapping the **...** button opens the full list of actions you can apply to your selection.

    </Frame>
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Once tasks are selected, you can:

* **Change Schedule** or **Change Deadline** for all of them at once
* **Remind Me** to set a reminder on every selected task
* **Mark as Complete**, **Mark as Cancelled**, or **Mark as Uncomplete**
* **Move to** another document or the Inbox
* **Delete** the selected tasks

### Bulk complete inside a document

You can also check off many tasks straight from a document. Select multiple task blocks (click and drag, or `Shift` + click), open the slash menu (`/`), and type **check selected**. Use **uncheck selected** to reverse it.

## Completing and cancelling tasks

A task's checkbox moves through three states as you click it: it starts **open**, one click marks it **done**, another marks it **cancelled**, and a third click returns it to **open**. Cancelling keeps a record that dropping the task was a deliberate choice, rather than deleting it outright.

On Mac you can do the same from the keyboard: `Cmd` + `Option` + `T` toggles a task complete, and `Cmd` + `Option` + `Shift` + `T` marks it as cancelled.

## The Logbook

The **Logbook** in the Inbox keeps the tasks you have completed there, so you can look back at what you checked off from the Inbox. Elsewhere, documents, pages, and folders each show a count of completed tasks, giving you a quick sense of progress at a glance.

<Info title="Completed tasks keep their scheduled date">
  A completed task continues to show on its scheduled date rather than the date you finished it.

<Info title="Where these task features live">
  For now, these task features live in the Mac and iPhone/iPad apps. Tasks also work on Windows and the web app, with similar functionality but a reduced set of capabilities and view options.
