Add an assignment

Open Tasks and choose Add task.

Use a clear title and connect the Course when it applies.
Choose the assignment type so similar completed work can inform future predictions.
Set the real due date and time—not just the day you hope to finish.

Estimated time and remaining time

These answer two different questions.

Estimated time: how long you expect the task to take overall.
Remaining time: how much work is still left for the current schedule.
Auto-schedule plans the remaining work. Adaptive Duration may suggest a future prediction while keeping your estimate visible.

Use priority for importance

Priority helps order work when several tasks can use the same opening.

High priority does not override a deadline that arrives sooner.
Deadlines, remaining time, commitments, and availability still shape what can fit.

Complete or Need More Time

Use the action that matches what happened.

Complete means the work is done.
Need More Time keeps the same task and replaces the amount still remaining.
Finishing a timer records Actual Time but does not automatically mark the task complete.

Add Shared Classwork

Shared assignments remain in the Shared Class until you choose Add to Planner.

The class supplies the title, shared details, and due date.
You choose priority, time, completion, notes, and schedule privately.
