What a Noot is
A Noot is a project workspace. Tasks live inside it.
A Noot is a project — a self-contained workspace with its own board, tasks, timeline, files, meetings, calendar and people. A task is one piece of work inside a Noot. Everything else in the product hangs off that distinction, so it's worth getting straight early.
Creating one
- 1Choose New Noot.
- 2Give it a name and a task key — a short prefix like
MA, which numbers its tasksMA-1,MA-2and so on. The key is derived from the name; edit it if you want. - 3Pick an icon and an accent colour (Green, Coral, Violet, Sky or Amber).
- 4Optionally add a description — what this Noot is for, its scope, who's involved.
- 5Pick a starter board: Standard (To do · In progress · In review · Done), Kanban, Sprint, Content, or one of your own saved templates.
- 6Set visibility — see below.
- 7Open Dates & milestones to set a start date, a target date and any milestones you already know about.
Creation is four steps, and nothing exists until the last one
Those basics are the first step. The button after them is never Create Noot — there is always a page after it:
- 1Basics — everything above.
- 2This project's teams — if you asked for a team of its own. A project team is a real team scoped to this Noot: it shows on the Members tab, in capacity, and as a board swimlane, without appearing in your organization's team list.
- 3AI teammates — which Nooties, if any, join the project. This step is always shown; "none" is a real answer, and it takes one click.
- 4Autopilot — if you switched it on, its setup screen.
The whole thing is written in one go at the end. Stepping Back restores everything you already answered, including the later steps — only Cancel throws it away. Nothing is created, no webhook fires and nobody is notified until the project actually exists.
Who can see it
| Visibility | Means |
|---|---|
| Everyone in the org | Anyone in the workspace can find and open it. This is the default. |
| Invited people and teams | Only the teams and people you add — picked inline as you create it. |
| Just me for now | You and anyone you invite later. |
Visibility is changed later from the eye chip in the Noot header. Anyone you explicitly invited stays invited even if you widen visibility afterwards.
Milestones you add in the creation dialog feed the header's "next milestone", the Timeline's milestone rail and the calendar straight away — they aren't just notes.
Is a Noot a task?
No. A Noot is the project; tasks live inside it. Older material sometimes said otherwise — a Noot has always been the project workspace.
Can I change the task key later?
The key is set when the Noot is created and stamps every task in it, so keep it short and recognisable — the initials of the project name usually work.
How do I delete a Noot?
From the Noot's header menu. It goes to the recoverable bin first, which an admin can restore from Org settings → Trash.
