Customizing and Managing a Page

Pages in ByDesign are flexible by design—but they also come with a set of powerful options tucked away in the three-dot menu at the top right. Whether you’re trying to change the way your tasks appear on your calendar, clean up clutter, or export your work, this guide walks you through everything you can do.

🎨 Changing the Page Color

Every page in ByDesign can be assigned a color—and it’s more than just aesthetic.

To change a page’s "color"

  • Click the colored circle at the top-left of the page

  • Choose the color you want

Once you do:

  • That color becomes the visual label of the page in your sidebar

  • Most importantly, tasks scheduled from this page will appear in that color on your calendar

This is incredibly useful if you want to visually separate different projects or life areas (e.g. pink for personal, blue for work, green for health).
Your calendar becomes an instant visual snapshot of where your time is going.

Page Options Menu (⋮)

Click the three-dot menu in the top right of any page to access its controls.

Page Management

  • Star / Unstar Page
    Pin important pages to the top of your sidebar and dashboard

  • Duplicate Page
    Create a copy of the current page—perfect for recurring templates or reports

  • Leave Page (for shared pages)
    Remove yourself from a shared page you no longer need access to

  • Delete Page
    Move the page to Trash (you can restore it within 30 days)

Task Management (within a Page)

  • Hide Completed Tasks
    Keep your page focused by hiding tasks you’ve already checked off

  • Delete All Completed Tasks
    Clean up with a single click—no need to remove each one manually

  • Complete All Tasks
    Useful for wrap-up moments (e.g. marking everything done at the end of a sprint)

  • Move All Tasks to Bottom
    Instantly push all scheduled or pending tasks below your notes or content

Exporting

  • Export Page as Markdown (.md)
    Great for backups, sharing outside ByDesign, or saving long-form notes

🗑 What Happens When You Delete a Page?

When you delete a page, it’s not gone forever.

Deleted pages are moved to your Trash, where they remain for 30 days.
You can restore or permanently delete pages from Trash at any time.
