# Removing a checklist step

To delete a checklist step, first decide if you want to remove a step from just one employee's checklist or for all current and future employees who are assigned this checklist.

### To remove a checklist step from just one employee’s checklist:

If you have Admin access in Onboarding, you have the ability to remove a specific task from an employee's checklist if that employee shouldn't complete it. To do so, find the employee on the **Currently Onboarding** page and click the employee’s name to view their tasks.

![1-Jan-30-2025-10-39-08-4059-PM](https://support.careerplug.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1-Jan-30-2025-10-39-08-4059-PM.png?width=688&height=207&name=1-Jan-30-2025-10-39-08-4059-PM.png)

Click on any task that an employee doesn’t need to complete.

![2-Jan-30-2025-10-39-21-1881-PM](https://support.careerplug.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2-Jan-30-2025-10-39-21-1881-PM.png?width=688&height=165&name=2-Jan-30-2025-10-39-21-1881-PM.png)

Click **Skip** on the Task Details page.

![3-Jan-30-2025-10-39-31-5971-PM](https://support.careerplug.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3-Jan-30-2025-10-39-31-5971-PM.png?width=688&height=162&name=3-Jan-30-2025-10-39-31-5971-PM.png)

That task will then be removed from the employee's Tasks page.

### To remove a checklist step for all employees:

In Onboarding, navigate to your Settings page (**Account \> Settings**). In the Checklist section, click the **Edit** link next to the checklist with the task you wish to remove.

![4-Jan-30-2025-10-39-43-5892-PM](https://support.careerplug.com/hs-fs/hubfs/4-Jan-30-2025-10-39-43-5892-PM.png?width=688&height=159&name=4-Jan-30-2025-10-39-43-5892-PM.png)

Click the **red X** next to any checklist step you wish to delete.

![5-Jan-30-2025-10-39-55-2635-PM](https://support.careerplug.com/hs-fs/hubfs/5-Jan-30-2025-10-39-55-2635-PM.png?width=688&height=271&name=5-Jan-30-2025-10-39-55-2635-PM.png)

Click **Update Checklist** when you are finished.

When you delete a checklist step, that step will be removed from any future checklist assignments as well as any current checklist assignments.
