  3. Hover over the document button, then click “Request files.” Select the appropriate folder where these documents should be saved.
  4. Add task details: You can include a due date, a description, and any other relevant details for the task.
  5. Once everything is set, click “Assign Task.” The employee will receive a notification.

Tracking progress
