Work with user jobs
Create a user job, start work, upload deliverables, and complete it.
User jobs track manual work done by a person. This guide covers the full workflow.
Create a user job
- Click Create Job in the top-right corner.
- Enter a title and description. The description captures what needs to be done.
- Leave the Agent tab empty — when no agent is selected, the job is created as a user job.
- Optionally add attachments — reference files, screenshots, or documents that provide context.
- Click Create.
The job appears in your Backlog.
Move through the board
User jobs are flexible — you can drag them between any columns on the board:
- Staged — the job is visible on the board but not yet ready for work.
- Ready — the job is prepared for someone to pick up. You can click Mark Ready or drag the job to this column.
- In Progress — work is actively happening. Drag the job here when you start. A new attempt begins.
- Review — the work is ready for someone to check. Drag the job here when you want feedback.
- Done — the work is complete.
Once a job reaches Done or is canceled, it cannot be dragged back to an earlier column.
Tip: Unlike agentic jobs (which follow a strict automated progression), user jobs can be dragged freely between any non-terminal column at any time — move them backward or forward as your workflow requires.
Add notes
Notes let you record progress, decisions, and context as you work. You can @-mention workspace members in notes to notify them.
- Open the job detail panel.
- Type your note in the notes section. To mention someone, type
@followed by their name and select from the autocomplete list. - Submit the note.
Notes are append-only — they cannot be edited after submission. Workspace admins and owners can retract notes if needed.
Upload deliverables
Deliverables are the output files of your work.
- Open the job detail panel and go to the Files tab.
- Click Upload and select the files.
- Files appear in the deliverables list.
You can organize deliverables into folders and upload new versions of the same file. See Manage deliverables and files for details.
Complete the job
When your work is finished:
- Drag the job to the Done column, or click Approve in the job detail panel.
- The job moves to Done.
If a reviewer requests changes, a new attempt is created and you repeat the work-and-complete cycle.
