In our design agency, it would be extremely beneficial to have advanced rich text formatting in the Project Overview tab, similar to the features available in task descriptions. This includes headings, moving paragraphs, bullet points, numbered lists, bold, italics, underlining, hyperlinks, and AI text features.

**Benefits:**  
• Enhanced organization and clarity of project summaries.  
• Improved ability to emphasize and structure key information.

**Use Case:**  
These formatting options would help us create well-organized project overviews, making communication more effective.

Hi @Cyrill

This is a great feedback. There is a more generic feedback that is open for voting which is adding colours to text formatting.

Now while rich formatting is more richer than that 😉 I wanted to bring it to your attention so you can include your vote - as I believe it could be addressed in one go by asana.

Here is the link;

> Hello! I don’t know if this feature is in the works already but it would be cool to have the option to highlight or change the color of text when writing the Task Description. Sometimes I want to highlight something as super important and all I can do is write in ALL Caps and change to Bold when maybe having the text in Red or Highlighted Yellow would probably be better to capture my coworkers attention. Thoughts?

Agreed. The item I have wanted the most is a TABLE, but all the rich formatting options available in task descriptions would be beneficial.
