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. **4. Who all can edit tasks that I create in a Slack channel?** Only you and the assignees will be able to edit tasks in a Slack channel.

Everyone in the channel and the assignees can see the Todo list. **7. How do I view all my Todos lists that are shared in a channel?** Simply go to the channel and type /TodoList and press enter. You can then select which Todo list you would like to view from the drop-down menu. **8.
