Create and view Reference Relationships

Find and relate tasks and Docs without adding formal relationships. References are automatically created whenever someone @mentions a task or Doc throughout your Workspace.

What you'll need

  • Relationships are available on any ClickUp plan.

  • Anyone, including guests, can use References.

  • You need permission to view a task or Doc to create a reference or view it in the References table.

Task references

You can @mention tasks in other tasks, comments, and Docs throughout your Workspace.

View references in tasks

In tasks, references are displayed on a dedicated tab in the Relationships page in the right sidebar.

Task and Doc references are displayed in separate sections.
