Watchers are people who are notified when changes are made to a task. Assignees are automatically set as watchers on tasks they're assigned to.

Unlike assignees, watchers aren't necessarily responsible for completing task items. Watchers are people who need to follow a task's progress. 

What you'll need

• People can be added as watchers on every plan.

• Everyone, including guests, can watch tasks.

• Everyone except guests without Edit or Full permissions can add or remove watchers.

  Task view 3.0 is currently in beta. Join the 3.0 waitlist.
