[@minor-co]

Thanks, I'll see what I can do.

Great video! I learn something new about Asana in every video of you (this video pinning comments).

[@minor-co]

Thanks Jeroen, glad I could help 😀

I loved your tip on pinning the comment for task close-out! Asana has a headache or two with the truncation.

[@minor-co]

Thanks, yeah I like this one as well.

[@bigfox196]

Very helpful. As usual👍🏻

[@minor-co]

Thanks Volker!

Another note on the "like when you see it" best practice. You can also do this directly from the email notification you receive without even going to Asana.

[@minor-co]

Thanks!

Is it possible to add the collaborators in my task list view? I want to have a column showing the collaborators currently in it.

[@minor-co]

It doesn't look like this is possible I'm afraid.

How do you get the option to add video to a comment? I can add a photo, but I cannot take video. I am using app on iPad. Do I need to use desktop version on Mac? Do I need to connect with a Vimeo account?

[@minor-co]

I don't think this is support on the iPad. You'll need to access Asana on the desktop.

Question: In your email to Asana tip, I am unsure how you got the correct email address to put the email in the right Asana task....

[@minor-co]

You can't put an email into a task. The email becomes the task. You can create a task from email by forwarding to [e-mail]
