Manage completed tasks
Keep completed tasks where they are, move them below open work, or delete them when you no longer need the record.
Move completed tasks to the end
Open the checklist menu and turn on Move completed to end. From then on, a task moves to the bottom when you complete it. Turn the option off to leave newly completed tasks in their normal position.
In a groceries checklist, moving completed items to the end keeps the remaining shopping visible without deleting the record of what is already in the cart.
Delete all completed tasks
Select Delete Completed Tasks, then confirm Delete, to permanently remove every task that is currently completed. Moving keeps the tasks and their information; deleting does not.
The move setting acts when a task's status changes. Turning it on does not rearrange tasks that were already completed.
If you want to use the same steps again, reopen the checklist, duplicate it, or turn it into a routine instead of deleting its completed tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did an older completed task stay in place?
Move completed to end acts when a task is completed. A task that was already completed before you enabled the option may remain where it was.
Can I choose individual completed tasks to delete from this action?
No. Delete Completed Tasks removes all completed tasks. To remove only one task, use the delete action on that task.
