Organize With Lists

The Skylight Desktop App can help you keep track of lists. By default, your Skylight account  has pre-made lists for Grocery and To-Dos, but you can add, remove, and customize lists to fit your planning needs.

Select the Lists icon to view and manage your lists:

With items selected, two additional buttons are available under the name of the list:

Use the Move button to move the selected list items into a section. Sections are useful for breaking up large lists into smaller chunks that may be easier to manage. If the section name you choose already exists, the selected list items will be moved to that section. If the section name you choose does not exist, the section will be created, and the selected items will be moved to that section.
