🎯 Help teams focus on one part of the work at a time
In List view, the checklist appears as a structured list with headers. When you switch to Tab view,
H1 headers (headers starting with # ) automatically become tabs. Each tab has its own progress, so you can track completion by section.
Switching between List view and Tab view is a user setting, allowing you to choose the view that fits you best.
Switch to tab view
To switch to Tab view:
Open the issue that contains the checklist
Click the 3-dots menu
Select “Switch to tab view”
To return to List view, open the same menu and choose “Switch to list view.”
This is a user setting, so you can choose the checklist view that works best for you ✅
☝️NOTE: When you switch to Tab view, H1 headers (starting with #) are automatically converted into tabs. If your checklist has no headers, Tab view will show a single tab. If you switch back to List view, all tabs appear again as H1 headers in the checklist.
