Hi Community,

Emojis have a special place in my heart so I am excited to have the opportunity to share this new feature with you all.

Originally, each tab in a project would have static default icons based on the layout type.

On August 29th, all Asana users will be able to spice things up with custom emojis: simply start the tab name with an emoji of your choice, it will automatically become the tab icon.

Reminder: on Mac OS you can use Ctrl+Cmd+Space to get an emoji keyboard, on PC it is Window+;!

I have tasks starting with wrapped_gift regarding Christmas presents so I don’t forget, they stand out in my list. I use fire to emphasize a task I really need to do. or heart to em…

> Hi everyone wave, Emojis are not only for young teenagers on Instagram, they are also great to emphasize content or convey information. Don’t we say a picture is worth a thousand words? In Asana, you can add emojis by typing « : » then a word in a task description or comment. But that doesn’t work in task names, project names, team names or custom fields. Here is the little trick to get an emoji keyboard almost anywhere: Ctrl+Cmd+Space on Mac OS, and Windows+. on Windows (or right click, and …
