FAQ
Q: Can I complete a section?
A: No, you can only archive a section. To receive karma for any active tasks in the section, make sure to complete the tasks first.
Q: I deleted a section and all its tasks by accident. How do I recover them?
A: The only way you can recover a deleted section is by importing a backup.
Your data is automatically backed up every day that you make changes in Todoist once you have an active Todoist Premium or Todoist Business subscription.
Q: Can I delete my section without having its active tasks deleted along with it?
A: No, if you want to delete your section but keep its tasks, you’ll need to move them out of the section. A quick way to do this is to multi-select the tasks and then select which section or project you want to move them to.
