Workly supports drag and drop across all task views, making it fast and intuitive to organise your work. Move tasks between statuses, reorder priorities, and reschedule deadlines — all by dragging.

Drag and drop in Kanban view

In the Kanban (board) view, drag task cards between columns to change their status:

  • Drag a task from To Do to In Progress to start working on it
  • Drag a task to Done to mark it complete
  • Drag tasks within a column to reorder them

Drag and drop in List view

In List view, drag tasks to:

  • Reorder tasks within a section
  • Move tasks between sections — Drag a task from one section header to another
  • Reorder columns — Drag column headers to rearrange them

Drag and drop in Calendar view

In Calendar view, drag tasks to different dates to reschedule them:

  • Drag a task to a new date to change its due date
  • Drag unscheduled tasks from the sidebar onto the calendar to set their due date
  • Overdue tasks can be dragged to a new date to reschedule them

Unscheduled and overdue sidebar

The Calendar view includes a sidebar that shows:

  • Unscheduled tasks — Tasks without a due date that you can drag onto the calendar
  • Overdue tasks — Past-due tasks that need to be rescheduled or completed

Drag and drop view tabs

You can also drag and drop the view tabs (List, Kanban, Calendar, custom views) at the top of your project to reorder them. This lets you put your most-used views first.
