## What it does

The Tags card in the sidebar of a task shows its tags. Tags are free text. Add a Tag opens a field. As you type, it suggests tags already used on other tasks. Each tag has a cross that removes it.

When you search a board, Lucrii matches tags too. Search for a tag to see the cards that have it.

Notes Timeline at the foot of the task page is the task's running record. Your notes are there beside the entries Lucrii writes, grouped by day. A note can have an attached file. You can edit or delete a note you wrote from the controls on it.

The closure note you write when you complete a task goes on the same timeline.

## Before you start

Suggestions come from tags already used on tasks. Removing a tag here leaves it on other tasks that have it.

Notes on a task are for staff only. They have no public and private switch. Notes on an order do.

A note or a closure note can be up to 50,000 characters. [Notes on a contact](/docs/contacts/notes.md) says how the count shows. [Tags on a contact](/docs/contacts/tags.md) gives the limits on tags.

## How to use it

1. Open a task and find the Tags card in the sidebar.
2. Select Add a Tag and type. Pick a suggestion, or press Enter to keep what you typed.
3. Select the cross on a tag to remove it.
4. Scroll to Notes Timeline and write in the Leave a note box.
5. Select Attach File to add a file to the note. Then select Post.

Older notes load as you scroll to the end.

## Troubleshooting

If Lucrii cannot load notes, the timeline says "Notes could not be loaded." and offers Retry, as [contact notes](/docs/contacts/notes.md) also do.
