# Completing Tasks
This guide explains how to **mark a Task as completed** from either the Tasks list or from inside an open task. Completed tasks are removed from the default (Open) view and can be retrieved using the **Completed** filter.
For a feature overview, see [Tasks Overview](Tasks%20Overview.md).

## Viewing Completed Tasks
1. Open the **Tasks** page.
2. Click the filter and select **Completed**.
The Completed view lists all finished tasks, including the total **time spent** on each one (for example, *4 hours and 15 minutes*). This is the same time data used by [Task Reports](Generating%20Task%20Reports.md).
---
## Tips
- **Log final time before completing.** Adding the last time entry (or final comment) before clicking Complete ensures the total time spent is accurate. See [Adding Comments and Logging Time on Tasks](Adding%20Comments%20and%20Logging%20Time%20on%20Tasks.md).
- **Add a closing comment.** A short summary of the resolution helps when reviewing completed tasks later.
- **Reopen if needed.** Use the **Completed** filter to find a finished task if you need to refer back to its history.
