# Skipping

Project managers may allow users to skip working on certain tasks. Skipping does not generate a new entry in the task's stage history.

## How to configure skipping

In your project settings, go to *General*, and scroll down to the *Skipping* section. You will see two toggles:

**Enable Skipping** (on by default): When enabled, users will see a "Skip" button next to the "Submit" button. Clicking on the "Skip" button will allow users to move on to the next task without submitting the current task.

When skipping is disabled, users will see the following:

**Unassign on Skip** (off by default): When enabled, when a user skips a task, the task will be unassigned from them. This means that that task will be placed back into the common task pool, for anyone to eventually pick it up.
