If a task turns out to need more work after being approved, reopening it brings it back into an active state instead of creating a duplicate task.

To reopen a task:

1. Open the completed task.
2. Click Reopen.
3. Add a comment explaining why, and optionally a new deadline or instructions.
4. Confirm the task’s status changes to Reopened and the assignee is notified.

Good to know:

• Reopening keeps the task’s full history intact the original approval and everything before it stays on record.
• A reopened task goes back through the same acknowledge → work → submit → approve cycle as before.
