# Link Your Work Together

This is where Daylite starts to feel different from everything else you've used.

In most apps, your contacts, tasks, emails, and calendar live in separate places. You have to remember the connections yourself — *which client was that task for? Where's the email thread about that deal?*

In Daylite, you link things together. And once they're linked, you never have to hunt for context again.

### Link Your Task to Your Contact

Let's connect the Task you just created to the Contact from **Add Your First Contact.**

1. Open your Task.
2. Scroll to **Linked Items** and click **+ Add Link**.
3. Start typing the name of the Contact you created earlier.
4. Select them from the list.

That's it. Now open that Contact's record and click **Activity**. You'll see your Task right there in their timeline — alongside anything else you link to them in the future: emails, appointments, notes, opportunities, projects.

### Why This Matters

Linking means you can open any record in Daylite and see the full story. A Contact shows every task, email, and deal associated with them. An Opportunity shows every person, email, and task involved. Nothing is siloed, and nothing gets lost.

As you keep working through this guide, you'll link things together naturally — emails to contacts, appointments to projects, tasks to opportunities. It becomes second nature. And the more you link, the more useful Daylite gets.

You can link almost anything to anything. People to Companies. Tasks to Opportunities. Emails to Projects. Notes to People. The combinations are endless, and you're always just one click away from the full context.
