# Task

> A Task describes an instance of a version control operation.

## Definition

* **Type:** Class
* **Namespace:** [UnityEditor.VersionControl](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/versioncontrol.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEditor.CoreModule

```csharp
public class Task
```

## Remarks

An object of this type allows you to process operations such as [Provider.Checkout](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/versioncontrol/provider/checkout.md), [Provider.GetLatest](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/versioncontrol/provider/getlatest.md), and [Provider.Submit](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/versioncontrol/provider/submit.md). Unity creates this item almost every time you ask [Provider](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/versioncontrol/provider.md) to perform an action. Task objects, that version control operations return, execute in the background and don't always finish immediately, use [Task.Wait](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/versioncontrol/task/wait.md) if you need to wait for them to finish.
