+## Convert checklist items into sub-issues
+
+As of February 2025, GitHub Projects supports converting checklist items into sub-issues. This feature makes it easier to break down tasks into smaller, trackable work items—directly from an issue.
+
+To convert a checklist item:
+
+1. Create or open an issue that contains a checklist.
+2. Hover over the checklist item.
+3. Click the **...** menu next to the item.
+4. Select **Convert to sub-issue**.
+
+This creates a linked issue that appears in your Projects view with its own status, metadata, and tracking. Sub-issues provide better visibility into related work and replace the older tasklist block feature, which was deprecated on April 30, 2025.
