# Skip Task(s)
|  | **Note:** Skipping a task(s) works slightly differently from skipping copy tasks. For details on skipping copy tasks, refer to [**Skip Copy Task(s)**](https://help.manageartworks.com/en/article/skip-copy-tasks). |
| --- | --- |
You can skip a task at any time—before or after the project starts—if it is not required for that specific project.
|  | **Note:**
- To skip the current active task, refer to [Edit Current Activity](https://help.manageartworks.com/en/article/edit-current-activity).
- For **In-progress** projects, a task can be skipped by:
- The assigned participants
- The initiators (users assigned to the Start activity).
- For assigned participants to skip a task in an in-progress project, the **Edit Stakeholder** setting must be enabled for that task.
- Before project initiation, initiators can skip tasks. |

## To Skip a Task
1. Log in to your [ManageArtworks](https://app.manageartworks.com/karomi/global/build/login) account.
2. If you are skipping a task in an in-progress project:
1. Navigate to **Project Views**.
2. You can skip the task from any view which lists in-progress projects. To switch views, click the hamburger menu and select the desired view.
3. Open the desired in-progress project and go to the **Tasks** tab.
4. In the Skip column, select the checkbox for the task(s) you want to skip. The task name will display with a strike-through.
**Note:** If the checkbox is greyed out or disabled, click the **Edit Form** button and then select the checkbox. For assigned participants to skip a task, make sure that the **Edit Stakeholder** setting is enabled for that task.
5. Click **Save** to skip the task.
3. If you are skipping a task before project initiation:
1. In the project and go to the **Tasks** tab.
2. In the Skip column, select the checkbox for the task(s) you want to skip. The task name will display with a strike-through.
3. Click **Initiate New Project** or **Save & Close** to skip the task.
