Confirmations and Undo

After you create, move or file something, a small confirmation appears at the bottom of the screen. It's more useful than it looks.

Click to Open​

When a confirmation refers to a specific item — a task you just created, a note filed into an area — its action text turns into a link — the blue words such as created or filed in area. Click the confirmation to jump straight to that item.

Today this covers tasks, notes and newly created areas. Most of them are task confirmations: quick-add, completing a task, "Added to This Week", "moved to Backlog", "filed in area" and similar.

  • The message is a real button, so Tab reaches it and Enter or Space opens the item
  • Confirmations stay on screen for at least four seconds. Clickable ones stay for six, and pause while you hover or focus them, so you have time to reach them
  • Opening the item dismisses the confirmation
tip

Handy after quick capture: add a task from anywhere, then click the confirmation to open it and add detail — no hunting for it in a list.

Which Ones Are Clickable​

Only confirmations that point at something openable. These stay as plain messages:

  • Errors and failures ("Couldn't save")
  • Deletions
  • "Copied", "Exported" and similar
  • Bulk actions affecting many items at once
  • Confirmations that appear while you already have that item open

If the blue text doesn't underline when you hover it, there's nothing to open.

Undo​

Some actions offer Undo in the confirmation — completing a task, for example. Undo is a separate button: clicking it undoes the action and never navigates anywhere.

If the Item Has Gone​

If you delete something and then click a confirmation that pointed at it, Cadeo tells you the item is no longer available rather than opening an empty screen.
