Complete a workflow task

Depending on the workflow for which you have been assigned a task, there are different tasks you might be asked to complete and there are several ways in which you can complete these workflow tasks.

Note: SharePoint 2010 workflows have been retired since August 1, 2020 for new tenants and removed from existing tenants on November 1, 2020.  If you're using SharePoint 2010 workflows, we recommend migrating to Power Automate or other supported solutions. For more info, see SharePoint 2010 workflow retirement.

Learn more about completing workflow tasks

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. For example:

  • An Approval workflow may ask you to approve or reject an item.

  • A Collect Feedback workflow may ask you to review a document.

  • A Collect Signatures workflow may ask you to sign a document

Other workflows may ask you to complete other tasks. You may also have the option to reassign your task or request changes to the workflow item. Finally, in some cases, the act of completing a workflow task may even generate another task in the workflow.

Note: The task may be assigned by a custom workflow or by a customized version of one of the standard workflows. If necessary, check with the person who started or created the workflow for more information on how to proceed.

For more information about how to complete a workflow task for one of the predefined workflows, see the links in the See Also section.

Complete a workflow task

  1. Locate the appropriate workflow task. There are several ways to do this:

    • In a task list    Open the Tasks list for the site, and then click the List tab of the ribbon. In the Manage Views group, select My Tasks in the Current View box.

      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.

    • In an e-mail task-notification message    For example:

      Task notification with Please Approve text called out

    • In a Word document on the Message Bar    For example:

      Item to be reviewed with Please Review text called out

    • On the Workflow Status page, in the Tasks list    For example:

      Task in Workflow Status page list with Please Review called out

  2. Point to the title of the task that you want to complete until the text appears underlined, and then click the title.

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