Linking tasks is a type of Relationship that you can use when tasks relate to each other but aren't dependent. This allows you to move between similar tasks and ensure everyone has full visibility of everything relevant to their work.

• Everyone, including guests with edit permissions and above, can manage Relationships.

• You must have permission to view a task or Doc to access it from a Relationship link.

• You can link up to 500 tasks to each individual task.
