Accepting or Rejecting a Delegation

A task delegated to you doesn’t become yours automatically; you choose to accept it or decline it.

Accepting a Delegation

To accept a delegation:

1. Open the pending delegation, usually surfaced as a notification or in the task itself.
2. Review who delegated it, their reason, and any notes.
3. Click Accept.
4. You’re now the task’s current owner going forward.

Rejecting a Delegation

If a task is delegated to you and it’s not something you should take on, you can decline it.

To reject a delegation:

1. Open the pending delegation.
2. Click Reject.
3. Optionally add a reason.
4. Confirm the task stays with whoever delegated it, and they’re notified of your decision.

Good to know:

• Once accepted, responsibility for the task genuinely shifts to you; the original owner is no longer on the hook for it, unless the delegation was set to return to them later.
• Rejecting a delegation doesn’t affect the task itself; it simply means ownership never transferred to you.
