# Mark a Task as Complete

When a task is finished, you can mark it as Complete to keep your Task list organized and up to date.

## ✅ Completing a Task

Click the checkbox next to the task on the Deal, Contact, Company or Tasks page. Completed tasks are displayed with a **strikethrough** for easy reference.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.paintscout.com/support/operations/tasks/how-to-mark-a-task-as-complete.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
