Hide Completed in N2?
Hi,
Maybe I am missing something obvious but I can't figure out how to hide completed tasks. I find it makes things look too cluttered.
TIA!

Drag and drop them to your logbook, or choose the option to move all completed task to the logbook.

Thanks. They are still there. They say "Logged" but they are still there...in Projects...not sure if its by design.

@Mark
I just had the time to look into this in more detail. This is new behavior that I have not heard anyone mention.
Many of us asked for completed task to remain with their projects in order to get a good idea of all the steps that have been done.
There are two ways you can clear your completed task.
In the past this would move the completed task into the log book which is fine, but many of us wanted to prevent the clearing of completed task from a Project until the Project was complete.
It seems that this is how it works now, but I can't remember anyone pointing this out before. This is GREAT in my opinion. I never used the "Collect Completed Items" button because it would move ALL completed task to the logbook which included completed Project task. I did not like this so I always dragged them manually in order to keep the completed task inside my projects.
I tested this twice and the completed Project task change from "Done" to "Logged" regardless of what method you use to clear them. This is a good thing in my opinion.
I will create a video to demonstrate the new behavior for anyone who is interested.

I'm with mark. Mostly, I don't need to know what tasks I"ve accomplished on a project, and when I'm doing my review I'd prefer to have less visual clutter.
I can imagine situations in which I would like to revisit a project's logs to see when I completed tasks, what tasks were completed, etc., but I consider that to be reference material that I'd rather have to click once or twice to get to. I'm even comfortable with having completed tasks be visible until they are logged (in case I need to redo a task), but once it's logged, I'd like it to disappear.

@Rique suggested a great solution.
A small check box in the Project details that allows you to toggle the completed task on or off.

This would be perfect.
