I. Function overview

Tasks displays tasks that task owners are required to complete. When you @mention task owners on the task list of a document and grant them permission to edit, they can follow up with those tasks on their Tasks panel. This keeps important tasks from various documents organized and prevents tasks owners from forgetting.
