How do I add new To-Dos to pages?

To-Dos are another tool to help users add content to your site. By adding a To-Dos to pages on your site, needed content and changes become easily discoverable at a site and page level. Also, To-Dos will help empower new users and focus existing contributors by directing them to what content is needed. Check out the video demos or scroll down for detailed instructions.

Video Examples

Note: The Wetpaint interface has changed significantly since these videos were made. We'll get them updated soon. See the section below for more detailed instructions.

Send a User a Notification

After adding a To-Do to a page you will have the opportunity to send another user on the site a notification about the To-Do. You might like to use this feature to contact new or power users directly about a To-Do hoping to bring their attention and skills to resolving the To-Do.
Type the recipient's username in the To: field or select To: and add the user name from the Address Book.
You can update the Subject line and add in a specific message in the body of the notification.

Send Notification of To-Do
