# Tasks

> Find, start, stop, edit, and delete your monitor tasks

The task list is the home page of the monitor. Each row is one task, watching either a single account or a single keyword query. To add a new one, click **Add Task** and follow [Create a task](https://docs.tweet-catcher.com/monitor/create-task.md)

![Tasks page with running and stopped monitors](https://mintcdn.com/tweet-catcher-a58f76a0/KlztmTaRb5pMJOie/images/tasks.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=KlztmTaRb5pMJOie\&q=85\&s=c9a5eaca67f7ea63c010f38b0e68b6e3)

## Reading a row

| Column | What it shows |
| - | - |
| Account | The handle being monitored, or the keyword query for [Twitter Global](https://docs.tweet-catcher.com/plans.md#twitter-global), along with its platform: Twitter, Truth Social, or Twitter Global |
| Options | The events the task is watching, such as posts, replies, or retweets |
| Status | **Running** or **Stopped** |
| Actions | **Start**, **Stop**, **Edit**, and **Delete** |

## Task actions

| Action | What happens |
| - | - |
| **Start** | Starts monitoring. Each running task uses one slot of your running limit |
| **Stop** | Pauses monitoring and frees the slot. The configuration is kept so you can start it again later |
| **Edit** | Opens **Update Task** with the current configuration |
| **Delete** | Stops the task and removes it permanently |

## Running limit

The counter above the list shows `running / limit`. Stopped tasks don't count toward the limit, so you can keep as many saved configurations as you like

When you reach the limit, stop a task to free a slot, or click **Need more?** to buy extra task slots. See [Plans](https://docs.tweet-catcher.com/plans.md#extra-tasks) for more informations

## Find a task

Use the toolbar above the list to narrow it down:

* **Group** shows tasks with a specific group label. **All Tasks** and **No Group** are always available. Set a task's group in the **Organization** section when [creating or editing it](https://docs.tweet-catcher.com/monitor/create-task.md#organization)
* **Search by user** matches the account handle
* **Status** filters by **All status**, **Running**, or **Stopped**
* **Sort** orders the list by **Newest first**, **Oldest first**, **A–Z**, or **Z–A**

> [!TIP]
>
> Group related tasks, for example by project or topic, so you can filter to them in one click

## Restart tasks after a renewal

If your membership expires, your running tasks are stopped automatically. After you renew, the next login opens the **Auto-Stopped Tasks** dialog

**1. Choose what to do**

Click **Restart Tasks** to start them all again, or **Ignore** to dismiss the dialog and leave them stopped

**2. Wait for the restart to finish**

> [!WARNING]
>
> Keep the tab open until the restart finishes

## Troubleshooting

> [accordion] A task won't start
>
> Check that the handle is correct and no option is wrongly set. The error that prevents the task from starting will be shown to help you narrow down the cause

> [accordion] I can't find a task in the list
>
> Reset the filters: set **Group** to **All Tasks**, **Status** to **All status**, and clear the search box.If you're still getting notifications from a task you can't find, the monitored user may have changed their handle, so it no longer matches the one on your task. To find the previous handle, look through your notifications for a handle change event

> [accordion] Some tasks are still stopped after a restart
>
> The tab was probably closed before the restart finished. Filter by **Stopped** and start the remaining tasks from the list
