Thanks Kristen! This was exactly what I was searching for but could not find, until I read your answer. ---

What happened to the save for everyone button? ---

@Christina_Conner, The answer is in this post: > [@Default to Viewing All Tasks in a Project](https://forum.asana.com/t/default-to-viewing-all-tasks-in-a-project/49237/2): > > Yes, @ltsadmin, On the top right click Incomplete Tasks (or whatever value you currently have set) and then choose All Tasks. Next, on the top left click the down arrow (Project Actions) next to the project name and choose Save Layout as Default. Larry Larry ---

Is there any way to combine the “Marked complete since” filter that is available when only viewing completed tasks with also viewing uncompleted tasks? I would love to be able to filter my projects to show: 1. all uncompleted tasks AND 2. completed tasks that were marked complete within [timeframe] This keeps the focus on what’s next while providing some context of what has been completed recently, without cluttering projects that have many completed tasks. Thanks! ---

Now they hid that option behind a right arrow above the task on the right side of the screen. You have to click the arrow and then click on the View Option. When you focus on the left screen again, that view button inconveniently disappears again. it is a bit of a walk around the park if you ask me. ---

To anyone like me not seeing that option, now is like a filter. Is a little confuse because appears like a button that suggest to only show incomplete tasks by default. Once you click on that option a menu appears with many options to filter tasks by time (completed or not) that’s cool, but the initial button not so much. ![48](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/e/e/ee8823ae697b42d7cbd6a346129283293abdcfcc.jpeg) ---

It would be nice if you could get your completed tasks to go to their own list available from the toolbar. I want to have easy access to completed tasks so I can remember what I’ve done and check the notes in the description, but having them visible within the project makes the project so messy and complicated, especially since items I’ve completed that I put under categories like “do today” remain there. ---

(I’m referring mostly to the way items are listed under “my tasks”) ---

@Jessica_Faulds, Have you considered “Recently completed tasks” which is found in the left sidebar under Reports? If you’re on a paid plan, you can save your own advanced search report of completed tasks assigned to you, perhaps within a date range. Hope one of those helps, Larry ---

do you know if you can keep that filter on, all of the time? Or do you have to go in an manually adjust every time? Old Asana, the tasks stayed there , whether done or not. Thanks in advance! ---

You can click on the three dots on the far top right side of your screen, in the drop down click ‘Save as default’ so that it doesn’t change back to showing only “Incomplete tasks” every time you exit the project. ![Screen Shot 2020-02-10 at 8.35.59 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/3/6/366e23d9651fedf3bca1d6db0ecf5722dfd9f7e4.png) ---

I’m having difficulties with this conversation. I have spent a lot of time trying to find this field to select All Tasks. I am using the free version and I’m not understanding ‘This screen’ when there are so many. Can someone kindly provide explicit steps to find it from the main menu along the left? I am using Google Chromse. ---
