Once the plugin is installed and authorized with Google Tasks, you can use it to manage tasks from either Obsidian or Google Tasks with real-time synchronization.

Create tasks using standard markdown syntax with an optional Google Task identifier:

- [ ] Buy groceries
- [x] Finish report (gtask:abc123:def456)

• [ ] indicates an incomplete task

• [x] indicates a completed task

• The (gtask:...) part is automatically added after syncing to Google Tasks and should not be edited manually

• Select the desired line(s) in your note

• Open the Command Palette (Cmd+P or Ctrl+P)

• Execute: Turn into Google Task

• A Google Task will be created, and the gtask: ID will be appended

To update tasks from Google Tasks (status or content):

• Click the Sync from Remote button shown next to a synced task

• Or, run the command from the palette: Sync All Tasks

This will fetch the latest state from Google and update the markdown file.

• Do not manually change the gtask: ID — it may break sync

• You can sync tasks in both directions anytime

• Great for combining daily logs in Obsidian with mobile task management in Google
