Complete a workflow task

The action that you perform or the information that you provide to complete a workflow task varies depending on what the workflow is designed to do and how it was customized when it was added to the list, library, or content type for the item. You may have the option to reassign your task or request changes to the workflow item. In some cases, the act of completing a workflow task may generate another task in the workflow.

1. Open the Tasks list for the site, and then select My Tasks on the View menu to locate your workflow task.

   Note: If the workflow does not use the default Tasks list, your workflow task may not appear in the Tasks list. To locate your workflow task, go to the list or library where the workflow item is saved. Point to the name of the task that you want to complete, click the arrow that appears, and then click Workflows. On the Workflow Status page, under Running Workflows, click the name of the workflow in which you are a participant. Under Tasks, locate your workflow task.

2. Point to the name of the task that you want to complete, click the arrow that appears, and then click Edit Item.

3. In the form that appears, type or select the information that is requested to complete the task.
