# Take a task

{% embed url="<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h2dEJ7-aRTa1QWQyMWW395F2_FXbVokW/view?usp=sharing>" %}

After the task manager has accepted your application, you have the option to take the task. If you decide to take the task, you cannot back out freely. In case you do not complete the task, this will be shown in the statistics on your profile.

After you have taken the task you can start working on it. Cancelling the task will require both your and the task manager's confirmation from here on.

{% hint style="info" %}
Task taking is done on a first come first serve basis. If you wait too long to take the task, it is possible that someone else will do it before you.
{% endhint %}
