# Assign tasks & monitor progress In this section, we'll see how you can assign tasks to stakeholders and track closure status. Tracking the status of comment assignments using terms such as 'resolved', 'open', etc., is useful when dealing with multiple stakeholders. ### 1. Assign tasks 1. Let's add a column-level comment and assign it as a task. Select a column and click the **Comments** icon directly, or choose **Add New Comment** from the **Comments** dropdown.

2. Enter a comment, then click on the **Assign to user** dropdown.

3. Select the desired user(s) from the dropdown to assign the task.

4. Once you assign a user, the task status is set to open by default. The task is assigned successfully when you click the **Send** icon.

### 2. Task status 1. By default, when a task is assigned, its status is set to open. To change the task status, click the **three-dot menu** in the top-right corner and select **Resolve thread**.

2. The thread is marked as 'Resolved', as shown below.

3. Resolved tasks can be reopened if required by clicking on the **Undo** icon. Alternatively, replying to any resolved thread will automatically make it open again.

4. Comments added in the **Comments** column can also be assigned as tasks. Select a comment and assign it to a user.

5. By clicking the highlighted arrow, you can expand or collapse the **Task Status** and **Assignee** columns. Based on the input and selection made in the comment editor, these columns are populated automatically.
