+
+Many of the main operations Octopus performs are represented by Tasks. This includes all deployments and runbook runs, and system operations such as applying retention policies. Since Tasks consume resources on the Octopus Server while they are executing, the number of Tasks which can execute at the same time is limited by a task cap. See [increasing the task cap](/docs/support/increase-the-octopus-server-task-cap) for more information.

+title: Prioritize Tasks
+description: Tasks can be manually prioritized to run before other earlier queued tasks.
+---
+
+Tasks are run sequentially based on the time they are queued to start. If you have many deployments or runbooks running simultaneously, this can result in a large queue of Tasks. Octopus **2023.4** adds support for prioritizing Tasks that require immediate execution, such as production hotfixes.
+
+Prioritizing Tasks can be done either on the **Tasks** page or when viewing an individual Task. On the **Tasks** page, select the overflow menu (`...`) on a queued task and click **Move to Top**. If you are viewing an individual Task, click the **Move to Top** button. Once an executing Task has completed, the prioritized Task will immediately start executing before any other Tasks in the queue.
+
+:::div{.warning}
+Ensure any other queued deployments to the same infrastructure are cancelled when prioritizing a deployment, otherwise an unexpected version of a release may overwrite the prioritized deployment.
