Save View Changes in ClickUp

In ClickUp, you can customize views with filters, sorting, grouping, and layout options, then save those changes so you and your team always see consistent information. This guide explains how saving works, when views update automatically, and how to protect shared layouts.

Understanding ClickUp view changes

Every view in a Space, Folder, or List can be customized. When you adjust a view, ClickUp tracks those changes and lets you decide whether to apply them just for yourself or for everyone with access to that view.

Typical view changes include:

• Sorting tasks by priority, status, or due date
• Filtering tasks by assignee, tag, or custom fields
• Grouping tasks by status, assignee, or sprint
• Expanding or collapsing groups of tasks
• Showing or hiding columns and fields
• Adjusting column width in List view

The options you see when saving changes depend on:

• Whether the view is private or shared
• Your role and permissions
• Whether you have Multitasking turned on in your settings

Types of views in ClickUp

Before saving any configuration, it helps to know the main types of views in ClickUp and who they affect.

Private views in ClickUp

Private views are visible only to you or to a limited audience you explicitly share them with. Changes to private views only affect the people who have access.

When working in a private view, you can:

• Change filters and sorting without affecting public views
• Experiment with layouts before applying them elsewhere
• Create personal dashboards for focus work

Shared views in ClickUp

Shared views are usually created at the Space, Folder, or List level for everyone who has access to that location. Changes to shared views can affect the entire team.

With shared views, you may see different saving options, such as updating the default layout or saving changes only for yourself while leaving the default intact for others.

How to save view changes in ClickUp

Most views in ClickUp share similar ways to save changes. Use these general steps whenever you customize filters, sorting, or layout:

1. Open the Space, Folder, or List where you want to adjust a view.

2. Select the view tab you want to modify, such as List, Board, or Calendar.

3. Apply your changes:

   • Set filters
   • Change sorting
   • Update grouping
   • Show or hide columns

4. Look for the option to save your changes, usually near the view name or in a view settings menu.

5. Choose whether to save changes for everyone or only for yourself, depending on your permissions and the view type.

If your workspace has specific view defaults locked, some options may be restricted by admins or owners.

Save personal layout changes in ClickUp

When you customize a view in ClickUp, you often have the option to save the current layout as your personal configuration while keeping the default layout for the rest of the team.

Typical personal layout changes include:

• Column visibility and order
• Column width in List view
• Group expansion and collapse state
• Sidebar pane visibility

To save a personal layout:

1. Open the desired view and adjust the layout.

2. Use the view settings or layout controls to save or remember the current layout for yourself.

3. Confirm that the changes are applied only to your account when prompted.

Other members can follow the same steps to personalize their own layouts without changing the shared default.

Save shared view changes in ClickUp

If you have permission to edit shared views in ClickUp, you may be able to update the layout for everyone. This is useful when your team agrees on a standard way to see tasks.

Use shared updates when you want to:

• Align the entire team on the same filter set
• Standardize grouping and sorting for reporting
• Ensure new members see a consistent default view

To update a shared view:

1. Open the shared view in the relevant Space, Folder, or List.

2. Apply layout and filter changes as needed.

3. From the view options menu, choose the option that saves changes for everyone with access to the view.

4. Confirm the update if a confirmation prompt appears.

After you save the shared configuration, other members who open the view will see the new layout unless they use their own personal preferences where supported.

Reset view changes in ClickUp

Sometimes you may want to undo layout updates and return to the default state. ClickUp offers options to reset view changes, depending on your role and how the view was configured.

Common reset actions include:

• Clearing filters to show all tasks again
• Removing sorting rules
• Resetting columns, grouping, and layout

To reset a view:

1. Open the view you want to reset.

2. Use the filter and sorting controls to clear custom settings where applicable.

3. Use the view options menu to reset layout or restore default settings if the option is available.

If you do not see a reset option, your workspace may control defaults at a higher level, or your permissions may limit what you can change.

Best practices for saving ClickUp views

To keep your workspace organized, follow a few best practices when working with view changes in ClickUp.

Coordinate shared views in ClickUp

When you edit shared views in ClickUp, communicate with your team so everyone understands what has changed and why.

• Announce layout changes in a team chat or task comment.
• Document standard filters and groupings in a reference task.
• Use clear view names to indicate the intended purpose.

Use personal views in ClickUp for focus

Personal views in ClickUp are ideal for individual focus and experimentation.

• Use personal filters to narrow down tasks assigned to you.
• Test different groupings to see which works best before proposing a shared change.
• Maintain separate views for planning, execution, and review.

Protect critical reporting views

For views used in reporting or leadership reviews, consider limiting who can update shared configurations.

• Assign ownership of views to specific roles.
• Agree on which fields and filters must never be changed.
• Create separate experimental views for testing new layouts.
