I’ve created a sequence which consists of 3 manual email in one thread, when I’ve launched the sequence, HubSpot has created for me 2 tasks, one with checkbox and another named ‘Sequence Activity’. When I click on the second task and click on ‘Actions’ and then ‘Edit Sequence’, the step is unclickable, I can’t edit or do anything. The question is, where can I edit and personalize email for this contact before I click the task as complete and it will be send to the next step? ---

Hi [@val\_spot\_on](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/660604) can you please share a screenshot of the second task? It would be helpful to understand what’s happening so we can provide a solution. ---

Hey Jennifer, here you go.

[@val\_spot\_on](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/660604) it looks like this one can’t be edited because it’s already complete, do you have one that isn’t complete? or are you trying to edit it after completing it? If it’s a manual email task, then you would need to go to the contact record, click email and compose your email and/or select a template to personalize before marking the task complete. ---

Hi [@val\_spot\_on](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/660604) Just adding to @Jnix284 questions, you have a sequence that consists of tasks, correct? Could you maybe share the full breakdown of your sequence steps? it should look something like this… ![Screenshot 2024-03-13 at 08.39.59.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/3/a37dffb5c3c74a29ff1d3d07f71a86c84ac25afa.png) That means you would go into your tasks, work through your task queue and then send emails manually, this isn’t done via “editing a sequence”.

Hey Frank, thank you, I’m having a manual email task like this. Based on my prior experience, I was thinking that the sequence will notify me and prompt me to edit the step for each contact, so the email will be as one thread. But as I understand I need to send it through the tasks and emails will be send separately. ![Manual Email.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/2X/2/2c373582ce82f93b3e4bf144a1825825d0b8fd2f.png) ---

Thanks for the additional insight @franksteiner79, it sounds like there might’ve just been a misunderstanding about how the manual tasks are designed to work. I’m glad to hear everything is sorted [@val\_spot\_on](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/660604) 🙌
