# Subtasks

Taskbuilder allows you to break a larger task into smaller, manageable subtasks. Subtasks help you organize work into smaller steps while keeping everything connected to the main task.

## Creating a Subtask

To create a subtask:

1. Open the task where you want to add a subtask.
2. Open the **Subtasks** section.
3. Click **Add Subtask**.
4. Enter the subtask details.
5. Save the subtask.

The subtask will be displayed within the main task, allowing you to manage the smaller pieces of work without creating a completely separate project task.

## Managing Subtasks

Once a subtask has been created, you can manage it from the main task. Subtasks can be used to break down a task into individual steps and track the work required to complete the main task.

This makes it easier to see the work involved in a larger task and keep related activities organized in one place.

## Convert a Subtask into a Task

Taskbuilder also allows you to **convert a subtask into a regular task**.

If a subtask becomes large enough to require independent task management, you can convert it into a task rather than recreating it manually.

This gives you flexibility to start with a simple subtask and turn it into a full task when required.

## Remove a Subtask

If a subtask is no longer required, it can be removed from the main task using the available subtask controls.

## Free Subtasks

**Subtasks are available in the free version of Taskbuilder.**

With Free Subtasks, you can:

- Create subtasks within a task.
- Organize larger tasks into smaller steps.
- Convert a subtask into a regular task.

Subtasks provide a simple way to break down complex work while keeping related work connected to the original task.
