+## Usage inside a task
+The `*taskin.Task` struct passeed into your task has some useful properties that you can use to customize the task view.
+
+### Change the title
+Already demonstrated in most of the examples, you can change `t.Title` at any time
+
+### Hide a view
+Sometimes you might need to temporarily hide you task view in order to prompt a user for input.
+You can do this by toggling the task.HideView boolean.
+
+```go
+Task: func(T *taskin.Task ) error {
+	t.HideView = true
+	if err := PromptForInput(); err != nil {
+		t.HideView = false
+        return err
+    }
+    t.HideView = false
+	t.Title = "Input received"
+	return nil
+}
+
+```
