# Additional tasks

### Overview

Additional tasks provide a flexible way to add tasks to your production process that are not directly tied to the main workflow steps. 

By reading this article, you will learn how to create new additional tasks within your workflow template and discover how to modify existing additional tasks, including renaming, duplicating, and changing their priority.

### Additional Task helps you:

* Manage tasks that don't fit into the main workflow sequence
* Add tasks that need to be completed at any point during production
* Track tasks that are not directly related to the main product workflow

### Basics

* Additional Tasks are not part of the main workflow sequence. They are independent tasks that <mark style="background-color:yellow;">**can be completed at any time**</mark> during the production process
* You can **add tasks** as needed, without having to modify the main workflow, even <mark style="background-color:yellow;">**during the production process**</mark> ([Production management](/manuals/production/production-management.md))
* You can <mark style="background-color:yellow;">**add an unlimited number of additional tasks**</mark> to your workflow template
* Additional tasks are located in the **"Additional task" container** on the Workflow template canvas

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hesh.app/manuals/product-management/product-configuration/workflows/additional-tasks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
