      Stay organized with collections



      Save and categorize content based on your preferences.\n\n- Home\n- Products\n- Style\n\nWhen you're writing reference documentation for a method, phrase the main
method description in terms of what the method does (gets, lists, creates,
searches), rather than what the developer would use it to do (get, list,
create, search).\n\nIt's a subtle distinction that manifests mostly in whether the initial verb
in the description has an -s at the end or not.\n\nRecommended: tasks.insert: Creates a new
task on the specified task list.\n\nNot recommended: tasks.insert: Create a
new task on the specified task list.\n\nFor more information and examples, see the
