Manage assigned work in ClickUp
In ClickUp, you can quickly find and manage every message and comment assigned to you so nothing falls through the cracks. This guide walks you through the main places to view, open, and complete your assigned work, including tasks, comments, and Chat views.
Where to find assigned messages in ClickUp
Assigned messages and comments are treated as action items in ClickUp. You can access them from a few key locations in your Workspace interface.
- Inbox: See assigned comments, reminders, and task-related updates.
- LineUp: Focus on a short list of items you want to work on next.
- Task views and Chat views: Open details, reply, and resolve the item directly.
Use these areas together to stay organized and keep track of everything that needs your attention.
Use the ClickUp Inbox to view assigned comments
The Inbox is one of the central places in ClickUp to see messages and comments assigned to you. It helps you separate actionable items from general notifications.
Open your ClickUp Inbox
- From the left sidebar, select Inbox.
- Make sure you are on the correct account and Workspace.
- Review the activity feed to locate comments and reminders assigned to you.
Your Inbox groups items so you can quickly identify what still needs a response, what is in progress, and what is already done.
Filter assigned messages in ClickUp Inbox
To focus on the items that matter most, use filters in your Inbox.
- In Inbox, open the filter options.
- Filter by Assigned to and choose yourself.
- Optionally filter by type, such as comments or reminders, to narrow the list.
Filtering keeps your ClickUp Inbox clean and focused on actionable work.
View assigned comments from tasks in ClickUp
You can open any task in ClickUp and see comments or subtasks assigned to you.
Open a task and find your assigned comment
- Navigate to a List, Board, or other task view.
- Click a task to open the task details.
- Scroll to the Activity or Comments section.
- Look for a comment with your user avatar or your name in the assignment area.
From here, you can read the context of the conversation, reply, and resolve the comment when you are finished.
Resolve an assigned comment in ClickUp
- Hover over the assigned comment.
- Select the option to Resolve or Mark complete (depending on your setup).
- Confirm the resolution if prompted.
Resolving an assigned comment removes it from your active work, helping your ClickUp Inbox and task views stay tidy.
Manage assigned Chat items in ClickUp
Some Workspaces use Chat views or Chat widgets inside ClickUp for ongoing discussions. Messages in these chats can also be assigned so a specific person owns the follow-up.
Open Chat views to see assignments
- From your Space, Folder, or List, locate any Chat view.
- Open the Chat view to see the message history.
- Look for messages that show your avatar or name in the assignment indicator.
Assigned messages in Chat behave similarly to assigned comments on tasks and can be resolved once completed.
Resolve assigned Chat messages in ClickUp
- Hover over the assigned Chat message.
- Click the action menu or resolve icon.
- Select Resolve to mark the item as completed.
This keeps discussions clear and shows your team which messages still require action in ClickUp.
Track assigned work with ClickUp LineUp
The LineUp feature in ClickUp lets you create a short, focused list of the work you want to prioritize next, including tasks, reminders, and assigned comments.
Add assigned comments to your ClickUp LineUp
- Open Inbox or the relevant task or Chat view.
- Locate an assigned comment or message that you want to work on soon.
- Use the available option (such as a menu or icon) to add it to your LineUp.
Putting items into your LineUp turns your assigned comments and messages into a manageable daily to-do list inside ClickUp.
Work through your LineUp in ClickUp
- Open the Home or LineUp section, depending on your Workspace layout.
- Start with the first item in your LineUp.
- Open the task, comment, or Chat message.
- Complete the requested action and resolve or close the item.
Using LineUp together with Inbox gives you a clear workflow from seeing an assignment to marking it done in ClickUp.
Tips to stay on top of assigned messages in ClickUp
- Check Inbox daily: Open your ClickUp Inbox at the start of your day to review new assignments.
- Resolve items quickly: Resolve comments and Chat messages as soon as the work is completed to reduce clutter.
- Use filters: Filter by assignee and type to keep your views focused on the most important work.
- Leverage LineUp: Move a few assignments into your LineUp so you always know what to work on next in ClickUp.
