# Update Start date/Due date of a Task

This feature lets users update a task's start and due dates after creation. This feature is helpful when the original timeline for a task is no longer feasible, a new timeline needs to be established, or other changes arise.

### Steps to Use:

* Select a **task from a project**. The **task modal page** opens.
* Click the **estimated start/due date** & provide the **revised** **date** & **time.**
* A **description box** will appear where you will be able to provide the **reason** for the **due date update**. 
* Give a **valid reason** and **submit** it. 
* Your **due date** for that will be **changed**. 
* You can **see** the task and its **reason** from the **Task list view**.
