Managing Board Columns

Columns represent the stages of a board's workflow.

Add a Column

Open a board, move to the right end of the columns, and click Add Column. A new column is created with the default name New Column.

Rename a Column

  1. Select the column name.
  2. Enter a name of up to 30 characters.
  3. Press Enter or click away to save.

Press Escape to cancel the edit.

Reorder Columns and Tasks

  • Drag a column by its handle to move it left or right.
  • Drag a task within its column to change priority.
  • Drag a task into another column to change its workflow stage.

List view also supports dragging rows between grouped column sections.

Delete a Column

Open the column actions menu, choose Delete Column, and confirm. Deleting a column also deletes the tasks in that column, so move any work you want to retain first.

Common column sets include To Do / In Progress / Done, New / Assigned / Waiting / Complete, or stages specific to your organization's process.
