Task Transitions in Markdown (Cheat Sheet v2)
How to schedule, reschedule or unschedule a task in Noteplan? What actions are possible? Which one should be supported by the graphical user interface?
For example unschedule task that is currently scheduled for April 30th, 2021; (re)schedule a task from current location and/or April 30th, 2021, to May 4th, 2021.
👍 indicates a core set of actions that I'd find useful for most users' needs. *️⃣ indicates actions supported by the UI of NP 3.0.21.
