Import and Create Tasks
CodeRide offers three powerful ways to add tasks to your project, with automatic task generation available for documentation and CSV imports.
1. Import Documentation
Auto-generate tasks from your project documentation or specifications in Markdown format.
Click on the "Create task" button on your dashboard
Select "Import Documentation" in the import box that will appear
(Optional) Download Template - Get our markdown template for inspiration on how to structure your documentation

CodeRide analyzes your documentation and automatically:
Identifies task sections and categories
Extracts task details including titles, descriptions, and priorities
Creates a structured task list from your specs
Review and adjust the generated tasks in the kamban or jump straight into Optimization
