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.

Some things I miss from Checkvist when working in the browser on an iPad (without keyboard): 1. The task menu (actions, aa) has no lc and "more" (which includes ex, for example). 2. I cannot invalidate a task (shift-space), or delete it. 3. For marking done/open, the swipe has to be carried out on the text of the task. For short entries (short word or even just a letter), this can be hard to do. These are exceptions, but why not allow swiping the whole task row?
