In ClickUp 4.0, reminders are displayed in your Inbox and only exist in the Workspace you create them. In ClickUp 3.0, reminders are accessible from Home or Profiles and are connected to your account instead of a specific Workspace.

What you'll need

• Reminders are available on every ClickUp plan.
• Everyone, including guests, can use reminders.

This article covers versions 3.0 and 4.0. Learn what's new in ClickUp 4.0!
