Hi,  
How can I remove/hide default sections (Recently assigned, Today, Upcoming, Later) from My Tasks?  
I did it in the past, and today (I don’t know why!!!) they appeared again…

Thanks in advance!

My tasks have my name (I didn’t put it there??!!)

Those sections are hidden when they are empty. You can’t really remove them. To switch tasks between those sections, you can use the keyboard Shortcut Tab+Y, Tab+U, Tab+L.

Thanks for your quick answer.  
But I have 3 sections empty, and they keep unhide.

I think this is a new thing they are beta testing. @Larry_Berger_lpb has the same, maybe @Marie can merge your threads…

You can effectively hide all of those sections by choosing a different way to sort your list (ex. sort by due date or likes). This should remove them even if they are empty and come back through some beta testing wizardry.

But if I change the “Sort”, the Tasks view is affected and the “layout” changes a lot. I want to see a compact view and with custom sections (created by me).  
Thanks anyway for your help.
