• Long-press an item or open its context menu to Add Sub-item.
• Sub-items appear under the parent item and can be checked off individually.

Conditions (Dependencies)

• Make one item depend on another with Add Condition.
• For example: “Take Umbrella” depends on “Is it raining?” → Yes.
• Conditional items only activate when their conditions are met, helping you keep lists relevant and uncluttered.

Duplicate and Delete

• Use Delete to remove items or whole checklists.

Completing and Resetting
