Checklists—Now appearing on the front of your cards

[#1]

Checklists are one of Trello’s most popular features—a way to break a card into sub-tasks, each with its own due date or assignee. If you're new to them, Trello Support has everything you need to get started: Add, delete, and manage checklists.

Until now, checklists have always lived on the back of a card. Starting this week, you can expand your list of items right from your board—without having to open and load the card details. Due dates show as a small clock icon which you can hover over to see the full date, and you can check off items from the front of a card as you go. Just create a checklist like normal, then look for the option to expand or collapse your checklist on the front of the card.

Available on all plans, rolling out now. Happy checklist-ing! ✅ ✅ ✅

Cool!

When you get a chance, fix (or add) shortcut for:

"Pressing “-” will add a checklist to a card." when HOVERING a card in column

Is there a way to not see the checklist items on the front of the card? I.e. to turn this functionality off and just see the amount complete e.g. 4/8 like before?

@Jane Felton The checklist will only display if you click on that icon to expand it. Otherwise, it will just look the same as before. If you expand a checklist and later want to hide it again, you can do that by clicking on the checklist icon again.

It works fantastic, i only notice that if it is a mirrored card then it doesn't work.

@Femke Lucassen Thanks for trying it out! We're definitely eager to support this on Mirror cards in the future, stay tuned!

Is it possible to sort by checked items for example if I have a card with ten items on and I tick off the first one, can it drop down to the bottom so I can more easily see the jobs still to do? New to Trello so this may already be a feature I'm unaware of

[Caity]

@Rosie Fenwick-Rasche When a checklist is expanded on the card front, completed items are automatically hidden. When the card is open, you can select "Hide checked items" to only see the ones that are still incomplete.

Love this @Caity ! I love it, @Caity! It's really important to our team because it means we don't have to open the cards to see how many tasks we have left to do. So it's a small step toward greater productivity 🎉
