+        You can convert your to-dos into tasks and assign them to a project. To do this, you need to access the

+            <font class="text-o-color-2">Convert to Task</font>
+        </span>

+    </span>
+</p>
+<p>
+    <span style="font-size: 14px;">
+        To-dos are now like 
+        <span style="font-weight: bolder;">
+            <font class="text-o-color-2">private tasks</font>
+        </span>
+        and will appear in the Project app under 
+        <span>
+            <font style="font-weight: bolder;" class="text-o-color-2">My Tasks</font>.
+        </span>
+        Similarly, private tasks created in the Project app will also appear in your to-dos.
+    </span>
+</p>
+<p><br /></p>
+
+<h3>Who has access to what?</h3>
+<hr />
+<p>
+    <span style="font-size: 14px;">
+        To-dos, like private tasks, are only accessible to the users specified as assignees. You can use the
+        <span style="font-weight: bolder;">
+            <font class="text-o-color-2">assignees</font>
+        </span>
+        field above to share this to-do with other users.
+    </span>
+</p>
+<p>
+    <span style="font-size: 14px;">
+        During the conversion of a to-do to a task, you will be able to add or remove assignees to control who has access to the created task. Note that its visibility will also depend on the visibility settings of the project you are assigning it to.
