Convert tasks, projects, and reference lists

Nirvana allows you to convert an item into an action, project, reference list, or reference item. Here's how:

On Desktop

  1. Right-click an item or click the drop-down icon at the end of the entry.
  2. From the context menu, select Convert and make your choice.

On Mobile

  • To convert an action to a reference item, move it to a reference list.
  • To convert a reference item to an action, move it to a project or action list.
  • To convert an Inbox item to a project, open it, tap the 3 dots in the top-right corner, and choose Convert to project.

For all conversions, you can change:

  • Reference items into projects, tasks, or reference lists.
  • Reference lists into projects / projects into reference lists.
  • Tasks into projects, reference lists, and reference items.

Good to know: Converting an item with action-related attributes, such as a task or a project, to a non-actionable item, like a reference list or item, will remove the action-related attributes.
