1. What is Issue Tracking?
Issue Tracking helps you keep track of problems (that need a resolution) that arise when working on a project e.g. bugs in the software, site down, client cannot access the webpage etc. Issues are assigned to a team member, can be prioritized, commented upon and time-tracked.
2. What is the difference between an Issue and a Task?
A Task is something that you plan in advance or is part of the project specification whereas an Issue is something that crops up (a break down, problem, bug etc.) while you are working on your project.
3. How many Issues can be added to a particular project?
You can add as many Issues as you like. The Free plan only allows you to add a total of 5 Issues across all your projects.
4. Can I upload a file to an Issue?

5. Who can add, edit and delete an Issue?
