Create a checklist
Create global or project checklists in the Checklist Library to include in a peer or approval review.
Global checklists are public and are not associated with a project, so you can apply them to any project.
Project checklists are available only in their assigned project.
Important considerations
Organization and project admins with the required project permissions can enable the Compliance permission in Organization > Permissions or Project > Project Permissions. This permission allows them to create smart checklists for others to use globally across all projects or within a specific project.
