# Hide Past Tasks by Default

## Hide past tasks by default to prevent previously created tasks from appearing in client and candidate views. This helps keep task lists focused on current and active items.

This article uses candidates for demonstration purposes. The same steps apply when managing tasks for clients.

Let’s get started 🚀

**Step 1**: Log in to your agent dashboard and click **Candidates** in the navigation bar.

**Step 2**: Click the candidate in the list for whom you previously created the tasks.

**Step 3**: Click the icon next to the **To Do** heading as shown in the screenshot below.

**Step 5**: Check the **Hide past tasks by default** checkbox. The settings will be saved automatically, and past tasks will be hidden by default.
