How do you create a "To-Do" list entry for an article already created, so that it updates automatically? How do you restore a "To-Do" list entry you accidentally deleted?

Jun 15, 2020 08:42

You can edit the article you want to add and use the [I]Add article to the TODO list panel on the right side of the edit interface. I'll add this to the guide now.   Delete to-do items, just like any other deleted content, can't be restored.

Thank you for your reply and the edit!   I do hope that they add a recovery option for deleted content. Some of my editors are terrified to work on anything, fearful that they will just be clicking along and accidentally delete something that cannot be recovered. Not a good feeling to have, to be certain.

I'd like to suggest an option that moves completed items from the list to a "Completed" list rather than just deleting them. I find it quite nice to watch a "Completed" list grow over time.

Hi! You can use the feature request page to suggest features. You can access it from https://www.worldanvil.com/help/ This is the best way to have Dimitris see it!

What are the requirements for an article to be complete? Is there like a word count, or a button?

Aug 16, 2022 07:39

Completion means that the article is published (i.e. not a draft) and marked as done (as opposed to WIP).

Hello! My To-Do List seems to be broken, or maybe I am doing something wrong. If I create a placeholder in an article there should be a To-Do List entry, right? (that's how I filled my To-Do List so far)   Today I created a few placeholders, but none show up in my To-Do List. I checked the articles, they are published. I cannot find the error. Is there an option that I clicked by mistake to "not update my To-Do List"?

Hi! Automatic creation of to-do list items was removed this past June after many requests from the community to do so. To add items to the list, you'll need to do so manually.   Let me know if you need more help with this!

Noooooooooooooooo...... But in all seriousness, why? Isn't that what placeholders are for? Who had a problem with that?   Thanks for the answer, I know how to create ToDos, just always liked the "shotcut" with placeholders. Was it removed for good or is there an option to turn it on again?

*shortcut   also, maybe this page needs an update then: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/WorldAnvilCodex/a/getting-started   "To-do list: it will be generated automatically every time you create a link to an article that doesn't exist. It contains all links to unexisting articles as well as articles created using the purple inkwell button. More information in the Guide to the to-do list."
