When would you invalidate an item rather than marking it complete?

When would you invalidate an item rather than marking it complete? Would it be use to hide an item that is to be reactivated later?

    Hello Peter! I usually invalidate a task when it's not going to be implemented as a part of the initial plan, but I am not sure where it goes, whether it's appropriate or not, etc. After that it's either deleted or re-opened and then completed, sometimes as a part of another outline.

    Invalidated items can be hidden with the same 'hide completed' shortcut, 'hc'. We have a request not to hide invalidated tasks, though http://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/3097229-show-invalidated-tasks-when-hide-completed-tasks-s

    Thanks Sasha. I agree it would be more useful if you could have invalidated items visible when completed items are hidden. Even better if they could be toggled independently to complete tasks. Now that would be first prize.

    Aha, I see. Could you please add your comment to that request then? http://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/3097229-show-invalidated-tasks-when-hide-completed-tasks-s Can't promise to implement it straight away, but we'll definitely consider the new setting in the upcoming releases.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l...

Hello friends

Hello friends, We are considering to change behaviour of move up/down command using ctrl+arrows for lists with hierarchy. The new approach is available on our beta site, https://beta.checkvist.com . Could you please try it out and tell us what you think? Thanks! https://beta.checkvist.com

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)
