# Promoting and Closing Tasks

After a task reached the Verified state it is ready to be promoted and committed into the MAIN repository. You need to click the **`Promote`** button in the *Actions* section. If it is disabled that means that the task has not been reviewed and verified.

{% hint style="success" %}
After a successful promotion, the life cycle of the task gets to the end: the task is automatically inactivated. 
{% endhint %}

From this point it cannot be reopened anymore. In the **Task List View** the item will not be present after starting a new session in the client.

Tasks can be closed without promoting changes using the **`Close`** button in the **Task Editor**. The button is available in three states: Open, In progress, and Verified. When the button is clicked, a dialog pops up asking to confirm that the user surely wants to close the task. Pressing **`Close`** ends up inactivating the task. From this point it cannot be reopened anymore.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.b2ihealthcare.com/snow-owl-authoring-platform/collaborative-authoring/authoring/promoting-and-closing-tasks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
