Subitems, people and files stay on monday.com: add the sub-tickets and assign in PlatformPilot. ## Before you switch ### Does monday.com charge extra for subitems?

Up to 1,000 levels, or 10 under a roll-up that counts the whole tree. Break any ticket into sub-tickets and those into their own; a ticket can never end up under itself. ### Do my monday.com subitems come over? Not yet. A connected board brings each item as a ticket with its status, priority, due date and updates. Add the sub-tickets in PlatformPilot. ### Does PlatformPilot have Gantt charts or time tracking?
