   1. Navigate to Workspaces > Projects and open a project on the Projects workspace by clicking the required project ID.
      
      • If the task is related to a sprint or phase, go to the Sprints or Phases tab and click the required sprint ID or phase ID. On the sprint or phase page, go to the Tasks tab and click the required task ID.
      • Otherwise, go to the Tasks in the Backlog tab or Global Tasks tab, and click the required task ID.
      • If the task is related to a task, it is a subtask, once you open the parent task, go to the Subtasks tab and click the required task ID.
   2. Navigate to Workspaces > Project Tasks and open the task on the Project Tasks workspace by clicking the required task ID.

   From status	Action	Change to status
