Preconditions & postconditions

Preconditions and postconditions for task instructions Task instructions can now capture what needs to be true before a task starts and after it finishes — not just the steps in between. Preconditions and postconditions are first-class sections that authors write, performers check off, and Klarify AI can reference. Document entry and exit conditions Every task instruction now has two optional checklist sections alongside its steps: Preconditions — what must be true or in place before the performer begins. Postconditions — what should be true once the task is complete. In the editor the sections always appear in the same order — Preconditions, then Steps, then Postconditions. Add an item with Add precondition or Add postcondition; each condition takes a title and, if you need it, the same formatted instructions, links, and attachments a step can hold. Both sections are optional — add conditions only where they help. Already organized your work as steps? You can move an item between sections — use its overflow menu's Move to action or drag it across sections — so an existing step becomes a precondition or postcondition without retyping it.

Check off conditions as you work In a published task instruction, conditions appear as checkboxes rather than numbered steps, so performers can tick each one as they confirm it. The table of contents lists Preconditions and Postconditions next to Steps, and each condition is deep-linkable — sharing a link jumps the reader straight to it and expands it.

Klarify AI knows your conditions Preconditions and postconditions are indexed into the knowledge Klarify AI draws on, so the assistant can answer questions about a task's entry and exit criteria — not only its steps.
