I stumbled across this feature just by accident and thought I’d share it with my readers. On a paid Google Workshop account, you can create checklist items in Google Docs and assign them a Google Task. The process is easy and very quick and you can assign the task to only people within your organisation – adding an external email address to the task will not work!
Here are the steps on HOW TO CREATE A GOOGLE TASK FROM A GOOGLE DOC CHECKLIST:
- Open a Google Doc and create a list of tasks
- Select the tasks and then click on the checklist button
- Click on the assign a task button
- Add assignee and due date
- This will pop up in your Google Task list
- When marking the Google Task as complete, this will also mark the item in the checklist. The editor will also receive an email notification when the task is completed.
Here’s a video on how to do this:
