Intro to ClickApps

Activate specific features, known as ClickApps, for your entire org or individual teams.

For example, if your organization wants to organize its work with Nested Subtasks, you can activate it and set the maximum number of nested subtasks across the Workspace.

If your engineering team uses sprints, you can turn on the Sprints and Sprint Points ClickApps for the Engineering Space, without adding those features to other teams' Spaces.

Check out our ClickUp University courses All Work Management Styles and ClickApps for Collaboration.
