# Visual Task Board checklists

Checklists help you track the progress of tasks on your Visual Task Board.

Checklists are available as a tab in the card details.

You can add, remove, or rearrange checklist items. You can also save a checklist as a template for future use on other cards. Any user can create or edit a checklist. When the compact card view is disabled, the task card displays a progress bar to show how many items are complete.

You can also use checklists with task records in the standard interface. For more information, see [Checklists](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-user-interface/c_Checklists.md).
