Task filters are available in the Tasks view, and also through [[Keyboard Shortcuts]]
![[Flow Task Filters.png|200]]
## Active
The "Active" filter helps you focus on what matters right now. It shows:
- Tasks scheduled for this week
- Tasks with deadlines this week
- Tasks in your Today, Next, or Inbox buckets
> [!tip] Performance Boost
> The updated focused Active view loads significantly faster, especially helpful for power users tracking hundreds or thousands of tasks!
## All
The "All" filter will show you all the tasks which are not yet complete or cancelled - primarily including all your Active tasks and all your Later tasks.
## Completed Tasks
You can view your completed tasks in three ways:
1. **Complete Filter**: See all completed tasks ever using the "Completed" filter in Tasks view
2. **Today's Wins**: Quick-view today's completed tasks via the checkmark in Focus view
3. **Tada List**: Celebrate your progress with completed tasks grouped by timeframe (today, yesterday, this week, this month)
## Managing Cancelled Tasks
We use a "soft delete" approach for cancelled tasks - they're out of sight but not gone forever.
> [!info] Why Cancel Instead of Delete?
> Ever kept a task around "just in case"? Cancelling lets you get it off your plate while keeping it searchable. It's like moving something to cold storage instead of throwing it away!
### Permanent Deletion
- Click the "x" on any cancelled task to permanently delete it
- When using "edit as text" mode:
- Deleting tasks in text mode permanently removes them
> [!tip] Quick refresher on completed and cancelled tasks is "Edit as Text"
> - Cancelled tasks appear as `- [-] cancelled task`
> - Completed tasks appear as `- [x] completed task`
