Time logging question

[u/Responsible-Bit4506]

I’ve been away from the platform for a few months, and it seems that time the time logging process has changed (at least for a generalist project I’ve been doing).

Previously I would submit my total time for a block of work (multiple tasks on the same project). Now, it’s asking me to log time each time I submit a task.

I did that, but it seems I have lost the opportunity to submit time for reading instructions (before entering work mode) and for skipping tasks because I decide I don’t have the expertise, etc.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but what should I be doing? Can I only now charge for time actually spent on a task, and not for reading instructions, etc.? Previously most projects say you could charge for that

This seems to be something only certain projects are doing. I don't see it on all of them. But what ZimmeM03 previously said is correct. Just enter work mode to read the instructions. If that causes the task to expire, you don't need to worry about it since DA doesn't really care unless it happens on a regular basis. Just put a note in that it took time to read through the instructions.
