From my project board view, I cant see when a task has been updated (new comment, subtask added) nor changes (due date changes etc). Id really like the task to show “new comment” or “changes made” at bottom right corner of the task and allow filtering to show most recently updated from the board level view. Slack recently added this show if there is a new comment in threads it now shows a red dot and “unread”. 5 gold stars if you can hover over the “New comment” “Change made” copy and have quick view of what it is (like you can with info notes by hovering on the “i” on many sites). In genral make tasks opening faster. Its sluggish and I loath every time I have to open one. Lazy load the key sections so it loads faster. Also reverse the tasks sections. After a task is started the top space with all the fields is just visual clutter everytime Im opening the task. I then have to scroll through all that to get to the subtasks, files, and comments. The task view (when clicked to open) should reverse all the sections so that the things people most open a task to do are at the top of the task: read comments, subtasks, files. All that info with fields etc should be collapsable so its out of the way and not visual and scroll clutter to get to what you need in the task.

@Von_Dellinger, Is this request close enough to yours that you’d be ok with my merging this topic into that one and you could vote there? [image] Indicator to show new activity (icon or bold task name) Product Ideas Hi there, Could you please do something like bold the task name in the task list when a new comment is added, so we know that there is a new comment to read? Or add an icon next to the task name? It would be really handy so we can know when a reply has come in, when working in the project view. OneNote has this feature – when a new page is added that the user who is logged in didn’t create, the title is bolded. It’s a very handy way of checking new additions. Thanks, Fiona Thanks, Larry
