FAQs

Can To-do lists or tasks be synced across different boards?

Unfortunately not. But you can request it as a feature on the Milanote feature poll and it may happen in the future.

When you click on the task in your notifications, it will take you to its location on the board. You can either delete it or mark it as done.
