# Adding checklists to cards

A checklist holds small steps within a card. As items are checked off, the progress bar fills; a badge like "2/3" appears on the card in the board.

- Project manager

- Project Member

- Customer (visible only on cards assigned to them)

## Steps

- Open the card and click Checklist in the Add to card section on the right.

- Give the list a name and click Add. A card can have multiple checklists.

- Write items with Add item; pressing Enter adds a new item each time 1.

- Check the box of the completed item. Click the item text to edit, or × to delete.

> Result The percentage and bar are updated; when all items are done, the bar and the badge on the card turn green.

> Tip You can hide checked items with Hide checked. Checklists are copied unchecked when the card is copied. Use sub-tasks instead of checklists for tasks that need their own date and assignee.
