What is the difference between list, Kanban, and calendar?
Switch views without changing the underlying tasks — same work, different layout.
Updated 2026-08-13
List, Kanban, and calendar are three ways to look at the same tasks — switching views never changes or duplicates the underlying work.
The three views
- List — straightforward, scannable rows of tasks. Best for triaging a backlog or scanning everything at once.
- Kanban — tasks grouped into columns (like To Do, In Progress, Done, or whatever your task sections are). Drag a task between columns to update its status.
- Calendar — tasks laid out by due date, so you can see what's landing when at a glance.
Steps
- Open Tasks.
- Use the view switcher (usually tabs or a toggle near the top) to pick list, Kanban, or calendar.
- Any change you make in one view — editing a title, dragging a card, setting a due date — is reflected instantly in the others.
Tips
- Kanban's drag-and-drop is the fastest way to update status for a lot of tasks at once.
- Calendar view is the best place to spot overloaded days before they happen.
