# Task list improvements

2026-06-10

We've shipped a round of improvements to task lists and checkboxes in the editor so they're easier to use and more natural to interact with.

- **Quick conversion** – type `[ ]` at the start of any bullet list item to instantly convert it into a task list. Converting via the menu will now act more predictably
- **Completion animation** – a stroke animation plays when you check off a task, giving a satisfying sense of progress
- **Better "Hide completed"** – the option to hide completed tasks now applies correctly to the current list, rather than affecting parent list items
