Add or move tasks and subtasks to a Sprint from another Sprint or List easily. You can also use the Bulk Action Toolbar to add or move multiple tasks. 

What you'll need 

• Sprints are available on every ClickUp plan.
• Everyone, including guests, can add tasks to Sprints.
  • Guests must have edit or full permissions to the task they are moving.
  • Guests must have full permissions to the Sprint.
• Guests cannot create Sprints.

Sprint Lists and Lists

Sprints are Lists inside of Sprint Folders. Tasks and subtasks in a Sprint can be moved between Sprints and Lists like they are moved from List to List. 

Add or move

Following is the difference between adding and moving a task to a Sprint: 

• Add: The task is put into another Sprint or List and kept in its original Sprint. This task is in multiple Lists. 
• Move: The task is put into another Sprint or List and removed from its original Sprint. 

Sprint status

You can see a Sprint's status in the Sprint's location header and the Sidebar next to the Sprint. These statuses are distinct from task statuses and cannot be changed. 

Following are the three Sprint statuses:

• Not started: The icon is a gray, dashed circle.
  Automatically changes to In Progress on the sprint start date.
  
• In progress: The current Sprint. The Sprint has started but hasn't ended. You can click the In Progress button to manually mark Sprint as Done. 
  The icon is a blue circle that starts partially filled. The icon fills in as the sprint progresses. The rate the icon fills depends on the duration of the sprint. 
• Ended: Automatically changes to Ended on the sprint end date.
  The icon is a filled green circle. 

Add or move tasks

Adding and moving tasks differs by task status and location.

Location

Tasks in regular Lists and current Sprints: Add and move these tasks the same way you'd add or move any task.
