Using the Task List Context Menu to Update/Edit

The workspace-level Task List gives you a context-sensitive menu of options for the selected task(s).

Update Options—Team members can update tasks using this context-sensitive menu.
Edit Options—Project managers and others with edit permission can edit tasks using the menu.

Some options in the menu are update options and require Update permission while others require Edit permissions. The options you see depend on which task(s) you select and what your relationship is to those task(s). Note: Currently, all bulk options (when multiple tasks are selected) require Edit permission.

Project managers can also use the Selection menu to edit tasks in bulk in the Task List. See Editing Multiple Tasks (opens in popup window).
