How do I turn a highlight into a task?

Select the text describing the action item, choose Create task, and FabricLoop turns it into a real task linked back to that note.

iOS only: Creating a task from a note highlight (or from the note’s More menu) is on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. On the web, create the task from Tasks and paste a link to the note if you need one.

Steps

1. In the note, select the text that describes something someone needs to do.
2. Choose Create task from the selection menu that appears.
3. FabricLoop pre-fills a task title from the highlighted text — adjust it, set an assignee and due date, and save.
4. The task description includes a From note link (the note title, when it has one). Opening that link takes you back to the note.

You can also open More (⋯) in the note editor and choose Create Task without highlighting. The same From note back-link is added.

Tips

• This is the fastest way to make sure meeting notes and briefs actually turn into tracked work instead of good intentions.
• You can create multiple tasks from the same note as you work through it — each keeps its own link back.
