+Recurring tasks
+===============
+
+When handling a project, the same task often needs to be performed several times: for example,
+weekly meetings or status reports. The **recurring tasks** feature allows you to automate the
+creation of those tasks.
+
+.. seealso::
+   `Odoo Tutorials: Recurring tasks <https://www.odoo.com/slides/slide/recurring-tasks-1946>`_
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+To enable recurring tasks, go to :menuselection:`Project --> Configuration --> Settings`, then
+activate :guilabel:`Recurring Tasks`, and press :guilabel:`Save`.
+
+Recurring tasks are now activated on all existing projects. The feature can be deactivated
+on an individual project by clicking the drop-down menu button :guilabel:`⋮` next to the project
+name, then going to :menuselection:`Settings --> Settings --> Task Management` and disabling
+:guilabel:`Recurring Tasks`.
+
+Set up task recurrence
+----------------------
+
+In an existing task, press the :guilabel:`Recurrent` button next to the :guilabel:`Planned date`.
+Then, configure :guilabel:`Repeat Every` field according to your needs.
+
+A new task in recurrence will be created once either of this conditions is met:
+- Previous task in recurrence has been closed.
+- On the day of the planned recurrence.
+
+The new task is created on your project dashboard with the following configuration:
+
+- :guilabel:`Stage`: first stage of the project dashboard (:guilabel:`New` or equivalent);
+- :guilabel:`Name`, :guilabel:`Description`, :guilabel:`Project`, :guilabel:`Assignees`,
+  :guilabel:`Customer`, :guilabel:`Tags`: copied from the original task;
+- :guilabel:`Milestones`, :guilabel:`Deadline`, :guilabel:`Timesheets`, :guilabel:`Chatter`,
+  :guilabel:`Activities`, :guilabel:`Subtasks`: those fields are not copied;
+
+- A **smart button** on the task displays the total number of existing recurrences.
+
+Edit or stop task recurrence
+----------------------------
+
+**To edit** the recurrence, open the last task in recurrence. Any changes made on the task will be
+applied to the tasks that will be created in the future.
+
+**To stop** the recurrence, open the last task in recurrence and press the :guilabel:`Recurrent`
+button next to the :guilabel:`Planned date`.
