## FAQs

\
**2. Who will be able to view my tasks?**

The tasks that you create on your Home page cannot be viewed by anyone else, unless shared in a channel or a DM. To create shared tasks, you can head over to the channel or DM and type /TodoAdd with the task list name.

**3. Who will be able to edit my tasks?**

Only you and the assignees can edit tasks. The task list will also show up in the assignees' app home tab.
