Hi,
When working a group of tasks via the “Start Tasks” button:
You are presented with three options; Reschedule, Skip, and Complete.
I thought Skip just meant skip the task for now but leave it on the task list for later, however, the picture below has me wondering if pushing this button has been skipping the task in the sequence all together and removing it from my task list all together.
How does the “Skip” button work?
Hi @NVenuto,
Thank you for posting in the Community and for the detailed information 
This is a really good question!
For information, I share these resources that might help you:
- Create tasks
- Use task queues
- [Create and edit sequences](http://Create%20and edit sequences)
I also wanted to invite a couple of subject matter experts to this conversation: @ChrisoKlepke, @Phil_Vallender, and @AdamLPW, are you using tasks in sequences and do you know the impact of using the “skip” button for tasks in sequences, please?
Thanks in advance!
Have a lovely day!

@NVenuto, I use this feature regularly, and often skip and return to the task on the same day. I’ll admit, I’ve never reviewed the sequence activity to see if it shows as “task skipped” or “task completed”, because the task always remains in my task list until completed.
I’d suggest running the following test:
If you want to be fully confident that no tasks will be permanently skipped, I’d also suggest doing all of the above, but at step 6 reschedule the task to the following day, then complete the next day and ensure it shows as completed.
Hopefully, this will give you some confidence that the feature is working as expected and that sequence tasks that you skip are treated in the same way as any non-sequence tasks that you skip.
Short answer: I don’t believe that skipping sequence tasks permanently skips or deletes the task. If the description doesn’t change to “completed” after completing, this is a bug and should be reported to HubSpot to fix.
Hope this helps.
Hope this helps.
