ClickUp Tips & Tricks: How to create a ClickUp Watcher view

Looking for a way to monitor all your ClickUp tasks efficiently? You can create a dedicated view that consolidates all of the tasks you’re watching in the “Everything” space. If you are an Assignee, you are automatically added as a Watcher, so this custom view enables you to eliminate manual searches and reduce the risk of overlooking tasks.

To create the Watcher view:

• Navigate to the “Everything” space
• Locate the "+ View" button in the horizontal menu bar (near existing views like "List" or "Board")
• Choose "List" from the view options
• Click the "Filter" button in the top toolbar
• Under "Add Filter," select: "Watcher" → "Includes" → [Your Name]

ClickUp Tips & Tricks: Adding watchers

If you want to keep stakeholders informed about a project’s progress in ClickUp, you can add them as a watcher on the task. Watchers receive ClickUp notifications about changes to the tasks or subtasks they are “watching.” They won’t receive notifications for any tasks higher or lower in the hierarchy unless you add them. If you are managing a project or small initiative with many tasks, consider adding stakeholders as watchers to a selection of high-level tasks.

Task creators, assignees, editors, and commenters are added as watchers by default. You can use the Bulk Action Toolbar to add a watcher to multiple tasks or create an automation to add a watcher to future tasks.
