Switch Task View Versions in ClickUp

In ClickUp, you can switch between different task view versions to preview the latest layout, compare it with a previous version, and give feedback to the product team. This flexibility lets you test new designs while keeping access to the layout you already know.

This guide explains how to change task view versions, what each version means, and how to manage feedback directly from the interface.

Understanding Task View Versions in ClickUp

Task view versions in ClickUp let you move between an older layout and a newer experience. Each version can offer different visual arrangements, controls, and navigation options, but the underlying task data remains the same.

When multiple task view versions are available, you can:

Switch between layouts at any time.
Test new features before they fully replace an older design.
Provide feedback that helps improve the new interface.

Admins and members can use these options to prepare their teams for upcoming interface changes.

How to Switch Task View Versions in ClickUp

You can change the task view version from directly inside an open task. The steps are simple and can be done in a few clicks.

Step-by-step: Change task view version

Open a task in ClickUp from any view, such as List, Board, or Calendar.
Locate the task view version control, usually found in the header or a dedicated menu within the task window.
Click the menu or label that shows the current task view version.
Select the new task view version you want to use from the available options.
Wait for the task to reload with the new layout. Your task data will remain the same, but the interface may look different.

After switching, you can move between versions as often as you need, making it easy to compare the legacy and updated layouts.

Available Task View Versions in ClickUp

The options you see depend on which task view versions are currently being tested or rolled out in ClickUp. You may see labels such as:

Legacy task view: The original or older layout for tasks.
New task view: The latest version, often including updated styling and reorganized sections.
Experimental task view: A version that is still being tested and refined based on user feedback.

Not every workspace will see all versions at all times. The available options can change as new designs are released or older versions are retired.

What stays the same between task view versions

Regardless of which version you choose, core task information is preserved, including:

Task name and description
Statuses and assignees
Due dates and start dates
Custom fields
Comments and activity history

The differences focus on layout, navigation, and how information is displayed, not on the underlying data.

Compare Old and New Task Views in ClickUp

Switching between versions is useful if your team wants to prepare for upcoming interface changes or evaluate how the new layout affects workflows.

Tips for comparing ClickUp task views

Test on real tasks: Open tasks you use every day and browse through details, comments, and subtasks in each version.
Check key workflows: Create tasks, update statuses, add custom fields, and assign teammates in both views.
Review performance: See if one version feels faster or smoother for actions you perform frequently.
Gather team feedback: Ask key users to try both layouts and share their impressions.

By systematically comparing versions, you can decide which layout best fits your team while sharing useful feedback with the product team.

Send Feedback on Task View Versions in ClickUp

The product team encourages users to share insights while trying new layouts. When you switch task view versions in ClickUp, you may see prompts to provide feedback.

How to provide feedback from the task view

Open a task in whichever version you want to comment on.
Look for a feedback button, banner, or link related to the task view version.
Click the feedback option to open the feedback form or panel.
Describe what works well, what feels confusing, and which features you rely on most.
Submit your feedback so the team can refine the experience.

Clear, detailed feedback helps prioritize improvements and can influence how future versions of the task view evolve.

Best Practices for Managing Task View Changes in ClickUp

When a new task layout becomes available, it may take time for your entire team to adapt. A structured approach makes the transition smoother.

Roll out new ClickUp task views gradually

Start with a pilot group: Ask a small set of power users to test the new task view version first.
Document differences: Note where specific actions or fields moved in the new layout.
Update internal guides: Refresh your training materials and screenshots to match the new view.
Offer a transition period: Allow team members to switch between versions while they learn the updated layout.

Communicate changes to your team

When you adopt a new ClickUp task view by default, send a short announcement that explains:

Which version you are standardizing on.
Why the change is happening.
Where to find updated documentation or training.
How to send feedback if teammates encounter issues.

Strong internal communication reduces confusion and support requests when layouts change.

Troubleshooting Task View Version Issues in ClickUp

If you do not see the option to switch task view versions in ClickUp, or a version disappears, consider the following:

Version has been retired: The legacy layout may no longer be available after a certain rollout stage.
Workspace settings: Admins or workspace-level updates may influence which versions appear.
Feature rollout status: New versions can be rolled out gradually, so some users may not see them yet.
Browser cache: Refresh the page or clear cache if the interface appears stuck on a previous layout.
