Share boards

Sharing a board shares every list on it at once: each collaborator gets a copy of the lists in their Google Tasks account, and new lists you add to the board are shared with them too.

  1. Open the board you want to share, then click the three dots menu (⋮) next to the board name. The Main Board cannot be shared.
  2. Click “Share board”.

  1. The Shared Board dialog opens with a link under Link sharing. Click “Copy Link” and send it to your collaborators.

  1. Your collaborator opens the link while signed in to TasksBoard, then clicks “Join shared board”. The board and its lists appear in their sidebar.
  • The owner sees a delete icon next to each collaborator in the dialog to stop sharing with that person. They keep a copy of the lists as they were, but no longer receive changes.
  • The owner picks Editor or Viewer next to each collaborator, and the role new members get from the link under “New members join as” (Team plan). A viewer sees every list of the board without being able to change them: see read-only access to shared tasks.
  • The “Assignee” filter of the Display button (offered on any board that has a shared list) filters the board on one collaborator’s tasks (or on unassigned tasks); the link then carries ?assignee=… so you can send someone their own view. See assign tasks.
  • “Stop Sharing” ends the sharing for everyone. Every collaborator keeps a copy of the current lists.
  • Lists on a shared board cannot be moved to another board. Deleting a list on a shared board deletes it for every collaborator of the board.

Once three people or more are on the board, the dialog suggests the Team plan.
