+### Track progress with task lists (Experimental)
+
+**Setting**: `setting(chat.todoListTool.enabled)`
+
+The great thing about agent mode is that you can give it a high-level task and have it implement it. As it plans the work and breaks it down into smaller tasks, it can be overwhelming to track the progress of all these individual tasks.
+
+This milestone, we are introducing the task/todo list feature in chat to better help you see which tasks are completed and which ones are still pending. You can view the task list at the top of the Chat view, so you always have visibility into the progress being made. As the agent progresses through its work, it updates the task list.
+
+Get started by giving the agent a high-level task and ask it to track its work in a todo list!

+
+This feature is still experimental and you can enable it with the `setting(chat.todoListTool.enabled)` setting.
