# Manage project work

An opened project has **Project details, Tasks, Comments** and **Files** tabs. The summary bar shows customer, website, priority, start and due dates, plus overall progress. Edit the project details when the schedule or status changes.

In **Tasks**, create a main task or choose a parent task for a subtask. Each task has a title, description, status, priority, due date, sort order and **Visible to customer** control. An opened task provides **Description, Subtasks, Comments** and **Files and audio** sections. Attach relevant files or audio to the appropriate task so the discussion has context. Customer-visible tasks can receive customer comments; the administrator can reply and, when input is needed, send a customer-action email from a project comment if that notification is enabled.

Task statuses include **Not started, In progress, Waiting for customer, Needs review, Revisions** and **Completed**. The overall progress is the average of task-status progress: Not started contributes 0%, In progress 50%, Waiting for customer 60%, Needs review or Revisions 80%, and Completed 100%. It does not come from the project status label alone. Use **Customer review** and **Revisions** at the project level to show the broader hand-off. When the work is finished, check the files and comments, then mark the project Completed.

Do not use project completion as proof of payment. [Offers](/docs/quotes/overview), [Finance](/docs/financial/overview) and [Payment History](/docs/renewals/payment-history) cover the commercial side.
