# Overview

Sub-issues are your ideal solution for managing tasks, especially when an issue is too extensive to handle as a single entity or needs to be divided among collaborators.

Each sub-issue operates independently, complete with its own assignee, labels, due dates, and status.

You have the flexibility to manually reorder the sub-issues within the parent issue and even change the parent if needed.

This feature enhances collaboration by allowing work to be easily distributed among team members, ensuring clarity and efficiency in your workflow.

By breaking down complex issues into manageable parts, you can keep your projects well-structured and organized.
