# Task Management

Partek Flow supports multiple versions of analysis tools, including third-party software (e.g. aligners). By default, the most recent versions are implemented during installation of Partek Flow. In some circumstances, you may need to use a different version of a tool, e.g. if reproducing an older study. Furthermore, tasks can be enabled and disabled.

## Task Management Page

Only Partek Flow users with administrator privileges have access to the *Tasks* management page. Changes made on this page are applied to all other users on the Partek Flow instance. To access the page, click the avatar in the top right corner, choose **Settings** and click **Tasks** on the left (Figure 1).

![Figure 1. Task management page. The table shows one task per row and the current system wide version for each task](https://1384254481-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FJVEESmJAPppJ3ijFq5aR%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-056ae1995ac4bd19fc4028bf8b79857c9c44c127%2Ftask-management-page.png?alt=media)

To enable or disable a task, select or deselect the checkbox next to the *Task name* on the *Tasks* management page, respectively (Figure 1).

To change the version of a task, click the drop-down and choose a different version from the drop-down list (Figure 2). All tasks launched after the change will use the chosen version.

To review which version has been used to perform a task, hover the cursor over the task node and inspect the pop-out balloon (Figure 3). Alternatively, the version number is shown on the *Task details* (Figure 4) page and the [*Data summary report*](https://help.connected.illumina.com/partek/partek-flow/user-manual/task-menu/data-summary-report) (Figure 5).
