---
The Community Edition is a deliberate subset of the commercial product. This
page is the definitive list, so you can decide before installing rather than
after.

## Included

- **Projects**: Create and manage projects, add members, set status.

- **Tasks**: Status, priority, type, assignee, due date and description.

- **Subtasks & milestones**: Break work down and group it against milestones.

- **Comments & attachments**: Discussion and file uploads on every task.

- **Checklists**: Lightweight to-do lists inside a task.

- **Labels**: Plus the Label Customizer plugin for renaming them to your own vocabulary.

- **Manual time entry**: Log hours against a task and review them in the list view.

- **Kanban view**: A board view of your tasks under **More**.

- **Users & roles**: Admin and user roles, single company.

- **Two-factor auth**: Available as part of the login flow.

### The navigation you get

The sidebar is trimmed to what actually ships:

- Dashboard
- Projects
- Tasks
- Time Log → Time Log List View
- More → Kanban
- Users

## Not included

Everything below was removed from the codebase, not hidden behind a flag:

| Area | Not in Community |
| --- | --- |
| **Agile** | Sprints, backlog, epics, velocity and burndown charts, Scrumban |
| **Planning** | Gantt chart, critical path, dependencies, project templates |
| **Reporting** | Dashboards, reports, Superset / BI |
| **Resourcing** | Resource management, availability, workload, budget and cost |
| **Quality** | Test case manager, test scenarios, defect tracking |
| **Documents** | Wiki, document management |
| **Finance** | Invoices, billing |
| **HR** | Attendance, leave management |
| **Collaboration** | Chat |
| **Integrations** | GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom |
| **Identity** | SSO, LDAP, SAML |
| **Extensibility** | Custom fields, custom task statuses, automation |
| **Developer** | Developer API, MCP server |
| **Time** | Running timer, timesheets, approvals |
| **Structure** | Multi-company / multi-tenancy, teams, business units, programs |

> **Why manual time entry but no timer**
>
> Time logging is core to how people use a task tracker, so the manual entry
> path stayed. The floating timer bar, per-task "Start timer" buttons and
> timesheet approval workflow were part of the commercial time-tracking module
> and were removed with it.

## Under the hood

Three plugins ship because the core depends on them, not as user-facing
features:

| Plugin | Why it's there |
| --- | --- |
| `EmailTemplating` | Templated mail used by core notifications |
| `CloudStorage` | Storage abstraction behind task attachments |
| `TwoFactorAuth` | Coupled into the login flow |

Plus `LabelCustomizer`, which **is** a user-facing feature.

## Choosing between editions

- **Stay on Community**: You want projects, tasks and time entry on your own server, and you are happy without agile boards, reporting or integrations.

- [Move to Cloud](https://helpdesk.orangescrum.com/guide/cloud/plans/editions): You need sprints, Gantt, resource management, reporting, integrations, SSO or the API.

- [Upgrade path](https://helpdesk.orangescrum.com/guide/community/project/upgrade-to-cloud): What moving to Cloud or the commercial self-hosted edition involves.
