"Automatically collapse Tasks." What is that?

Unread post by Ed Hawco »

Hello. Low-priority question here (I'm just curious.)

At the bottom of the "Your publishing tasks" page there's a checkbox labelled "Automatically collapse Tasks." What does that do? What is a "collapsed task?"

Hi Ed,

It collapses each task to just a title, hiding all the actions it contains. Click it and see... 8)

OK, that's simple enough. :-)

BTW, I wish I had a dollar for every hour I've spent recovering from a "click it and see" experiment!

I don't think there are any options in HM that are destructive without warning. There are some delete actions that cannot be undone, like deleting something in the TOC, but you will get a very clear warning if you try to do that. :)
