 - To help you track your team's work on an issue, the progress of an issue's task list appears in various places on {% data variables.product.product_name %}, such as a repository's list of issues.
 - If a task references another issue and someone closes that issue, the task's checkbox will automatically be marked as complete. 
-- If a task requires further tracking or discussion, you can convert the task to an issue by hovering over the task and clicking {% octicon "issue-opened" aria-label="The issue opened icon" %} in the upper-right corner of the task. To add more details before creating the issue, you can use keyboard shortcuts to open the new issue form.
