What you see
Every task has its own Task Card — open it from the feed or the Tasks tab. The card has a header with the title, owner avatar, status pill, and a "…" menu in the top right. Inside that menu sits Cancel task.
How to use it
- Open the Task Card from the feed or Tasks tab.
- Click the … menu in the header.
- Click Cancel task.
- Or, if the chat panel is faster, tell Astra: "Cancel the launch email task." She confirms in the panel and the card flips to a cancelled state within seconds.
What you'll see after
- Status pill on the card flips to Cancelled.
- Any draft, screenshot, or partial Asset already produced stays attached to the card so you can salvage it.
- The card stays in the feed (greyed) so you can scroll back to what was done.
- Cancelling does not refund credits already spent. If the task is 90% done, let it finish.
How the team coordinates around this
If you cancel from chat, Astra echoes the cancel into the chat panel ("Got it — cancelled"). The teammate stops posting to that thread.
