Before you start

Some Everything tabs may not be available on all sites. Visibility depends on your feature access, plan, and permissions for the related projects and items.

Use the Everything area when you want to review the same type of item across multiple projects without opening each project individually.

Use other tabs in the Everything area

Open the Everything area

  1. Select Everything in Teamwork.com's main navigation menu.
  2. Choose the tab that matches the type of item you want to review.

The available tabs and controls vary by item type, but most tabs let you review, sort, and refine results from one cross-project view.

View comments

Use the Comments tab to review comment activity across projects from one place. This is useful when you want to follow updates across tasks, milestones, files, notebooks, or links without opening each project separately.

Comments can show item context such as the related project and item type. Unread comments are also highlighted so you can identify recent activity more quickly.

View messages

Use the Messages tab to review project messages across your accessible projects. This is useful when you need a cross-project view of communication and updates posted in different project message areas.

You can sort and refine message results to focus on specific conversations, authors, or time periods across multiple projects.

View milestones

Use the Milestones tab to review key delivery points across projects. This is useful for tracking upcoming deadlines, completed milestones, or milestone progress across multiple projects from one place.

View risks

Use the Risks tab to review project risks across your site. This gives you a cross-project view of identified risks, helping you monitor issue areas without checking each project separately.

View proofs

Use the Proofs tab to review proofs across projects in one place. This is especially useful for teams or reviewers who work across multiple projects and need a central view of proof status and activity.

A cross-project proofs view can be useful for creative, design, or approval workflows where reviewers need to monitor requests or approvals without switching between projects.

View forms

Use the Forms tab to review forms and related responses across projects from one place. This is useful for teams that manage intake, requests, or submissions across multiple projects.

A cross-project forms view can help users who oversee incoming work across projects, rather than managing form submissions within each project separately.

View budgets

Use the Budgets tab to review budget information across projects from one place. This is useful for managers or leads who need a broader financial view across multiple projects.

A cross-project budgets view can help you review budget information without moving between individual project budget areas.

Refine results

Many Everything tabs include sorting, filtering, or other controls to help you narrow the items shown. The available options depend on the type of item you are viewing.

Use these controls when you want to focus on a smaller set of results, such as items from specific projects, date ranges, or contributors.

Best practices

  • Choose the right tab: Select the Everything tab that matches the item type you want to review across projects.
  • Use cross-project views for oversight: Use Everything when you want a broader view across projects rather than project-level detail.
  • Refine results when needed: Use sorting and filtering controls to narrow large result sets and focus on the most relevant items.
  • Return to project-level views for detail: Open the related project when you need deeper context or item-specific actions.
