In our quest to completely remove unnecessary clicks, we created a game-changing feature: /Slash Commands. Use this feature to quickly add elements like rich text, attach images, move a task, or change a due date.
Combined with Command Center, you can do anything without lifting a finger!
What you'll need
/Slash Commands are available on every ClickUp Plan.
Guests can use /Slash Commands.
To use /Slash Commands, navigate to a location where they can be applied.
Task views and subtasks:
Use /Slash Commands in the description, comments, and when creating new tasks and subtasks.
Some of the commands available in tasks aren't available in subtasks.
Docs:
Many of the /Slash Commands available in tasks and subtasks are available in Docs.
There are also some that are unique to Docs.
/Slash Commands are also available in Whiteboard, Columns, Chat view, text block Dashboard widgets, and Notepad.
Note: Columns commands vary depending on the location where Columns are created.
Type a slash
/to activate the Slash Command menu.Find a shortcut by scrolling through the menu with your mouse and clicking to select.
