Edit tags
Tags are a great way to filter and sort the tasks on your Task Board, so we've made them easier to edit and manage.
Edit Tags
You can now edit existing tag names, which is great for fixing annoying typos, or changing a group of tasks without having to create a new tag and apply it to all the tasks.
Just click edit next to the Tags list on your Task Board. Then edit the tag you want to change.
Remove tags from your active list
If you have tags you no longer use, you can remove them from the list of tags. Just click edit next to the Tags list on your Task Board and then select Archive to remove a tag.
Archived tags can be found at the bottom of the Edit Tags list.
You can return tags to the active list by clicking Unarchive.
Drop us a line about Tags
We hope these changes help you manage your tags more effectively. We're always keen to hear from you about how you use Tags and what would help you manage your tags better. Drop us a line in the comments if you have any suggestions you'd like to share.

Send a group of tasks to the Archive and a nifty new shortcut
Previously, at the end of a project when every task was in the done column, there still remained one job. To move each of those done tasks to the Archive… one by one. Urgh!
Rejoice! This release from BugHerd lets you move multiple tasks in the last column of your Task board to the Archive at the same time.
Move ALL completed tasks to the archive
Simply click the dots in the column heading, and select Archive all Tasks. Confirm you want to Archive them all (no one likes an accidental archiver), and Boom! Those tasks are off the Task Board and filed away in the Archive for reference.
Move a selection of tasks to the archive
There's a handy shortcut if you want to only move some tasks to the archive.
Hold down Control (Windows) or Command (Mac) and click individual tasks to select them, or hold down Shift and click to select a range of tasks. Then click Archive Selected Tasks to send the selected tasks to the Archive.
Restore groups of tasks from the archive
You can return a group of archived tasks to the Task Board by clicking Restore Tasks in the archive. Note that if you select Restore Tasks for a group, all tasks in that group will be sent back to the Task Board. You can restore groups of tasks for up to 24 hours after archiving them. You can continue to send individual tasks back to the Task Board from the Archive at
Shortcut to move between the Task Board and your website
Move easily between tasks on your Task Board and your website with the help of new links in BugHerd.
From your Task Board, click Open Website to go to your website.
Once on your website, you can return to your Task Board by clicking View on Task Board in any of the Tasks in your list.
For your eyes only! (Premium feature)
From today, you can choose who sees the comments you add to a task on your BugHerd task board.
When you add a comment, you can now share it with everyone, including the guest who wrote the feedback, or members of your project only.
Simply select All users or Members only below the comment before posting. All users is selected by default.
Comments that are for team members only display on the task in yellow. So you know which ones are public and which are team members only.
Private members comments are available on Premium BugHerd plans and above.

Easily share and edit task locations, plus the undo button you’ve been asking for.
Undo changes to the task description
Oops, instead of copying the text in the task description of the task on the task board, you’ve pasted whatever was on your clipboard, and now the description is gone forever. Not any more. Simply click the Undo button to return to the text that was previously there.
Easily share Tasks with others outside of BugHerd
You can now details of a task with others who don't have access to your task board. The new share feature copies the URL, plus project information and task details, so you can share it on slack, via email or whatever other tools you’d like.
The person you send it to just needs to click on the location pin to see the task details information, making it easier to share task information with others.
Edit Location details
Edit the Location URL in the task details manually, so now if the name of the page you’re working on changes, you won't lose all the BugHerd pins associated with that page. You can update the Location by clicking the edit icon next to the location. Only members, managers or admins can edit the location.
