Going offline

Built for the latest browsers
But wait, there's more!
Just about everything that's possible online with Remember The Milk now works offline too -- so you
can keep working with your tasks no matter where you are. For a seamless experience, the app
automagically detects when you're not connected to the Internet and switches to offline mode.
The new Remember The Milk has been built to take advantage of the latest browser technology:
we're supporting the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, as well as IE 10 and IE 11. Going
forward, the most recent stable version of each browser will be the one we "officially" support (with
the exception of IE, where we'll also support the previous major release).
New keyboard shortcuts
A whole new interface means, you guessed it... new keyboard shortcuts! Just press ? to see a handy
guide to all the shortcuts.
Note: Some of the existing shortcuts were tweaked to make room for all the new ones, so check the
guide if things don't work quite as expected!

Bulk update
Need to update the due date, time estimate, and add some tags for a whole bunch of tasks at once?
You can update these properties (and many more!) with bulk update.
Just select the tasks the tasks you'd like to change, click the 'More' button at the top of the list, then
choose 'Bulk Update'.

Trash
Accidentally deleted a task? No problem! Your deleted tasks are now stored in a
special 'Trash' list, which you'll see on the left in the app. Tasks are held for 30 days in
this list, before being automatically deleted from your account (there's a handy 'Delete
Forever' button available if you'd like to clean out the trash sooner).
Printing goodness
Not only do we have a fancy new print format (with black and white or color
options!), but you can now print individual tasks, too. You can choose whether to
include the task's details, subtasks, and notes when you print.
Improved notes
Notes are now easily accessible just under the task details. You'll see who added or edited a note,
and when, which is particularly handy when working with others on tasks. And because notes don't
like to go unsaved, they'll now prompt you to save before leaving them.

See more task info
These extra details can be useful! Just click the little "i" icon on any task to see when it was added
and last updated. You'll also see the number of times it's been postponed, and where it was added
from (e.g., web app, iPhone app, etc).

Link tasks to Gmail
If you're using our Gmail add-on (/services/gmail/addon/), you'll be familiar with creating tasks from
emails. A Gmail icon will now appear on any tasks created from emails, so you can quickly open the
related email.
Default fields
Tags, locations, start dates... we have them all, and more! You can choose which task fields are
shown by default, and hide the ones you don't use often. Just click on the cog in the top right,
choose 'Account settings', then head to the 'General' section.

Archived lists
Finished working on a project? Archive it! You'll now find your archived lists all in one place. Just
click the arrow to the right of 'Lists' in the blue sidebar on the left, then choose 'Archived lists'.

https://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/tester/new/ 28/33
It's easy to see what's coming up with these new and improved views of your tasks, which you'll find
in the blue sidebar on the left.
Location improvements
Locations are now included for tasks in shared lists, and when tasks are given to others. So, when
you ask Bob T. Monkey to pick up the milk, he'll know where to go.
Locations can be "moved" too, e.g., when moving to a new house or office.

Bookmarkable URLs
Each task now has a bookmarkable URL, so you can link directly to the task. Views
(lists, Smart Lists, contacts, tags, locations, etc) are bookmarkable, too. Bonus: The
number of incomplete tasks is now included in the page title.
Retina ready
Got a computer with a Retina display? Bob's extremely jealous, but he's also made
sure that the new Remember The Milk displays nicely with high resolution images.
And more...
There's a ridiculous number of bug fixes and small tweaks that
didn't make this page. Mostly because we forgot to write them
down, but trust us, they're in there!
