Sometimes you realize that what you thought was a big, complex epic is actually something smaller and more focused. That's where converting an epic to a work item comes in handy. This feature lets you transform an epic into a regular work item, making it easier to track and manage as a single deliverable rather than a collection of tasks.

![convert epic to work item](https://media.docs.plane.so/issues/convert-epic-to-work-item.webp#center)

From any epic, look for the conversion option in the interface. Click **Convert to work item** and the system will transform your epic while preserving all the important details like title, description, and basic properties.

You can also [convert Work items to Epics](/core-concepts/issues/overview#convert-work-items-to-epics).

Sometimes a work item grows in scope and complexity, and you realize it's actually big enough to be its own epic with multiple sub-tasks. This feature promotes a regular work item into an epic, giving you the structure and flexibility to break it down into smaller, manageable pieces.

![convert work item to epic](https://media.docs.plane.so/issues/convert-work-item-to-epic.webp#center)

From any work item, find the **Convert to Epic** option. The system will ask you to confirm since this action detaches any associated cycles, modules, and parent items. Once converted, you'll have a new epic that you can start breaking down into sub-work items and organizing however makes sense for your project.

You can also [convert Epics to Work Items](/core-concepts/issues/epics#convert-epics-to-work-items).

## View work item activity

Inside each work item, you’ll find an Activity log tracking updates like status changes, reassignments, or due date modifications. This feed also logs comments, which support rich formatting for discussions, updates, or sharing resources related to the work item.
