In a project, you’ll find the Board view right next to Tasks. Each task status is a column, and each task shows up as a card inside a column.
You can drag and drop cards between different statuses and also customize the order of cards within a column.
Key benefits and use cases
Status at a glance thanks to columns for each task status
Move tasks between statuses by dragging cards from one column to another
Reorder tasks inside a status to reflect priority or workflow

Drag a task card from one status column to another
or drag and drop tasks within a column to reorder them

Add or change columns (task statuses)
Columns in the board are your task statuses. You can create new columns (i.e., new task statuses) directly in the board and customize existing ones.
Go to the column on the far right to create a new status column
Click it and enter a name for the new column
Use the color dropdown to select the status type
To edit an existing status, click the column actions to change the status name, color, or icon.
Note: For the To Do status, you can choose between the grey outlined checkbox and a blue status with an icon. The checkbox is the default layout in your task list. If you choose a blue icon, the To Do status is displayed consistently with the blue icon throughout all views.
You can read more about task statuses here.
Change the order of columns (statuses)
Drag and drop columns to reorder them. Columns use the same order as the status circles in the pop-up you see when you hover your mouse cursor over the task checkbox.
You can also customize task statuses and reorder them in a project’s Settings tab.
Work with the closed tasks column
In project Board view, there is a fixed column for closed tasks.
You can display either recently closed or all closed tasks.
Important: This column can’t be hidden. One checkmark (either Show all or Show recently closed) always remains.
Create new tasks in Board view
To add a task in a specific status, click + Add Task at the top of that column
Or click the blue + Add- button at the top left
Tasks created with the blue + Add- button appear in the column that matches the task status.
Edit task details from a card
Hover over a card to see available actions
Click the task name to open task details
Group by lists or users
For a better overview, you can group the entire board by task lists or users.
Click the Group by button next to the Done shown button
Choose whether to group by lists or users
When grouped by lists, you can also assign tasks to other users or move tasks between lists using drag and drop.
