How ClickUp's Hierarchy Works
ClickUp's hierarchy is the structure that decides where every task, project, and department lives. When it is unclear, work ends up in random places, managers lose visibility, and new hires struggle to find anything. This short video walks through the whole structure so your team starts on solid ground.
You will see how a workspace sits at the top, how spaces map to departments, and how folders and lists organize the work beneath them, down to tasks and subtasks. It also covers the nesting mistake most teams make, and a simple rule for keeping your setup clean as you grow.
