However, if you marked step 3, part a as DONE, then b (at a later time), then c, only triggering "c" would mark *** TODO step 3 as DONE as well. In other words marking a heading as DONE will mark all children as DONE, marking children as DONE one-by-one will only mark the parent as DONE when all the children are marked DONE. Is this a correct understanding? This is (one of the functionalities) I would like. Maybe it is already possible, or I have misread something? Thanks again for org-mode, *fantastic software* Stuart
