Settings


Most settings chosen when creating a board can be changed later. To edit them, click the three-dot "Board Options" icon to the left of the board name, then select Board Settings from the dropdown menu.

Board settings

Settings > General


In the "General" tab of Board Settings, you can update board details like the name, description, card number prefix, and column limits. Click "Update Information" to save your changes.

Column limitation lets you set a maximum number of cards per column. Visit the Advanced Columns page to learn more about how it works.

Settings > Appearance


In the "Appearance" tab of Board Settings, you can customize the board’s look β€” such as accent color and thumbnail β€” and preview how the cards will appear. Click "Apply Changes" to save, or "Cancel" to discard your edits.

Settings > Housekeeping


In the "Housekeeping" tab of Board Settings, you can view how much space attachments use on the board or archive the board if it's no longer needed.

Archived boards


Archiving a board moves it to the Board Archive section on the homepage under its assigned space. You can filter the archive by board name to quickly locate a specific board.

From here, you have two options:

  • Restore board - remove the board from archive and restore it to its original state
  • Delete board - permanently delete the board and its content (cards, tags, attachments etc.)

You will need to confirm the deletion by typing the board's name. Be careful, this action can't be reverted!

Favorite/Unfavorite board


To access this option, click on the "Board Options" button (three dots icon) and then click on the "Favorite board" button.

Favorite boards will show on the homepage, in the "Quick access" section. You can also remove a board from favorites by following the same steps.

Members


You can add a member in boards created by a team with an active subscription plan. No members can be added to the Private Space plan. Learn more about teams in their dedicated pages: Teams and Advanced Teams.

Users need to be added first in a team before you can add them to a team board.

Add members

Add team members by searching for their username.

Filter members

Use the "Manage Members" dropdown to quickly filter board members, by username.

Roles

Board members can have different roles with different permissions: Member, Admin and Owner. You can use the "Manage Members" dropdown to change a user's role. Check the sections down below for more information. Please keep in mind that Team Members and Board Members are separate entities with different permissions.

  • Owner - default role for the owner that created the team
  • Admin - users with admin role help the owner manage the board and have most of the permissions of an owner, with a few exceptions
  • Member - users with member role can contribute to a board, with limited permission
