Share your project

Everyone you share your project with will have full access to all of the information, like tasks, comments, and uploaded files. They can add new tasks, assign tasks, complete tasks, add comments, and upload new files to the project.

  1. Right-click the project and select Share.
  2. Type in the name or email address of the person you want to share with. If the person you're inviting doesn't have a Todoist account, they’ll receive a project invite email with the option to set up a free account.
  3. Click Invite to send the invitation(s).

Share a parent project

If you share a parent project with someone, they won't automatically have access to its sub-projects. You will instead need to invite them to each sub-project.
