📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

These changes reorganize and expand documentation on work item type management. The sidebar configuration restructures "Work Item Types" into a collapsed menu with separate project-level and workspace-level entries. A new workspace-level work item types documentation page is introduced, and existing issue types documentation is updated to reference Task as the default type and note Enterprise Grid workspace-level management.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Navigation Configuration
docs/.vitepress/config.ts
Restructured "Work Item Types" sidebar entry from a direct link to a collapsed parent menu with two child items: "Project-level" and "Workspace-level", enabling separate documentation paths for each scope.
Work Item Type Documentation
docs/core-concepts/issues/issue-types.md, docs/core-concepts/workspaces/work-item-types.md
Updated existing documentation to reference Task as default work item type, added Enterprise Grid workspace-level note with cross-reference. Introduced comprehensive new workspace-level documentation covering enabling, creating, managing custom properties, importing types to projects, and lifecycle administration (disabling/deleting).
Minor Documentation Update
docs/workspaces-and-users/billing-and-plans.md
Removed trailing question mark from section heading "Why per-seat instead of per-user".

8-8: Remove duplicate sentence.

The sentence "This ensures consistency — a 'Bug' in one project has the same properties and structure as a 'Bug' in another" appears identically on both line 8 and line 16. Remove it from one location to avoid redundancy.

📝 Proposed fix (remove from line 16)
 ## How work item types work

-Work item types are workspace-level entities. This means they're defined once by Workspace Admins and can be reused across any project in the workspace. This ensures consistency — a "Bug" in one project has the same properties and structure as a "Bug" in another.

duplicate sentence "This ensures consistency — a 'Bug' in one project has the
same properties and structure as a 'Bug' in another" so it only appears once in
the document; locate the repeated string in the work item types doc (the
identical sentence present twice) and delete the redundant instance, leaving the
remaining occurrence intact.

148-153: Consider adding reassignment guidance.

The delete section warns that "Existing work items of that type will need to be reassigned to another type" but doesn't explain how to do this. Consider adding a brief note or cross-reference on how users can bulk-update work item types (referencing the "Bulk update types" section above) before deletion.

📝 Suggested addition
 Deleting a type removes it from the workspace library and from every project that imported it. Existing work items of that type will need to be reassigned to another type.
+
+To reassign existing work items before deleting a type, use the [bulk update](`#bulk-update-types`) feature to switch them to a different type.

 Before deleting, consider whether disabling the type would be a better option — it preserves existing work items while preventing new ones from being created.

warning "Existing work items of that type will need to be reassigned to another

"Bulk update types" workflow and link to that section (or include the short
steps) so users know how to reassign items before deletion; ensure the text
mentions the "Delete a work item type" heading and the "Bulk update types"

- Line 8: The document inconsistently names the default work item type as `Task`
in the opening and `Issue` elsewhere; decide which is correct and make them
consistent by replacing all occurrences of the incorrect name (e.g., change "The
default type is called `Issue`" and "the work item type `Issue` is selected") to
the chosen canonical name (`Task` or `Issue`) and verify headings, examples, and
captions reference the same term (search for the phrases "default type",
"`Issue`", and "`Task`" and update `Issue`/`Task` instances accordingly).
- Line 108: The table row "| **URL** | A URL field for linking to external
resources. |" is missing the middle "Attributes" column causing markdown table
misalignment; update that row to include a placeholder or appropriate attributes
cell between the pipes (e.g., "| **URL** | [attributes or '—'] | A URL field for
linking to external resources. |") so the row matches the three-column structure
used by other rows and resolves the markdownlint error.

# Add and configure your work item types <Badge type="info" text="Pro" />

Work item Types unlock a whole new way of adding, editing, and moving work forward in Plane. The default work item type called `Issue` is great for starting with Plane, but as you advance in your project management journey, you find the need for names and properties unique to the type of work you are doing.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Inconsistent default type references throughout the document.

Line 8 states the default type is Task, but the document still references Issue as the default in multiple places:

  • Line 43: "The default type is called Issue"
  • Line 125: "By default, the work item type Issue is selected"

Either update all references to Task for consistency, or verify which is correct and update accordingly.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Fix the table row structure for URL property type.

The URL property row is missing the Attributes column, causing a table formatting error (detected by markdownlint). All other rows have three columns: Property type, Attributes, and Notes.

+| **URL**               |                                          | A URL field for linking to external resources.                                                   |
