  Assignee (by default, the task is assigned to the task creator)
  Note
  The task assignee sees the Submit status when the task is in progress. If the assignee reassigns the task to someone else, the status changes to In progress.
  Note
  Email notifications are not sent if the individual creating the task is also the assignee. If the assignee is different from the individual creating the task, the assignee receives an email notification indicating that they've been assigned a task.

  Note
  Proof cannot be linked until the task is created. When proof is uploaded, it's linked to the task and is visible in the task's proof area. The proof remains linked to the task until the task is submitted and closed.
  When the task is closed, the proof can be found in the task's proof area, the linked object's Proof tab—e.g. the Proof tab of a control—, and in the organization's main proof list. This activity can be observed in the task's Activity Feed.
Click Create.
