Use this interactive demo to learn how to break tasks into subtasks inside ClickUp.

Quick summary

Subtasks in ClickUp let you break complex tasks into smaller, trackable units within a project. You can add details like assignees, due dates, and priorities to each subtask to keep work organized and manageable.


Steps

  1. Go to the project where the main task is located.
  2. Click on the task to open its details.
  3. In the task details view, locate the Subtasks section, usually found toward the bottom of the details pane.
  4. Click the + New task button, then enter the name of the subtask in the field that appears.
  5. Add additional details such as description, assignees, due dates, priorities, attachments, and custom fields.
  6. Click Save to save the subtask.
  7. To view your subtask, click on the parent task to confirm it appears correctly.

📌 Why this matters

Creating subtasks in ClickUp allows teams to break large, complex tasks into smaller, actionable work items — making project management more organized and efficient. Subtasks support individual assignees, due dates, and priorities, giving managers granular control over workload distribution. This feature is essential for teams that need to track multi-step deliverables without losing visibility into the bigger picture. ClickUp subtasks help reduce missed deadlines and improve accountability across every stage of a project.
