How do I edit an existing task or sticky note?
1. Load table view (C)  2. Select the task 3. Click the pencil.  Modify task/note details and then Save.
Remember, you can select the arrows and drag tasks to edit their dates too, but this technique does not provide precise date editing.  Another edit method, select the green triangle, then the pencil (L).
How do I delete a task
Double click on the task to delete it when in dragging mode (A).  You will be prompted to confirm the deletion or mark it as complete. Press A first to set drag mode/suppress task info display.  Another method, select red “X” in drop-down info box (L)
How do I display a task’s info?
The interface has three primary, mutually exclusive modes: 
Drag mode (A) tasks and notes can be repositioned on the screen.  Tasks due dates are modified by this action.  Notes do not have dates thus are not modified by the move..  The selected “active” task has a gold check mark overlay.
Info Mode (B) selected tasks or notes will display their data.  No positions are changed.
Table Mode (C) a table view of the tasks or notes is displayed.  The tasks table is sorted by due date.

Press B the select your task or note.  The info will display the task title, task notes (if any) due date.   Any assigned project will be displayed in lowest portion of the info display.  Press the red stop sign on the info box to close the display or the green triangle to expand for access to secondary controls.
What’s the difference between a Deleted task and one marked Completed?       
Tasks marked as Completed are visible and labeled with a red check mark.  They are locked into orbit for future reference.  Tasks marked complete can be unmarked from the completed state.  These unmarked tasks return to their active state and will advance based on their stored due dates.  
Deleted tasks are removed immediately and completely.  Best practice during deletion is to set to drag mode (arrows) so that task info is not displayed as the task is removed.
