Organise to-dos on boards and lanes
Create boards for each process, add your own lanes, and drag to-dos from lane to lane as the work progresses.
Updated 4 October 2026
A board groups the to-dos of one process or team, for example "Workshop" or "Customer service". Each board has lanes, like columns on a whiteboard. You drag to-dos from lane to lane as the work moves on.
Create a board
- Open the Todo tab on the dashboard.
- Click + Create New and choose Board.
- Enter a Name (up to 35 characters).
- Optionally write a Description.
- Click Save.
Every new board starts with three lanes: To do, In progress and Done. These are set by the system and cannot be renamed or removed.
Find and open a board
- Choose Boards in the drop-down at the top left.
- Choose My Boards (boards you created) or All Boards.
- Use the search box to find a board or a to-do.
- Click a board card to open it.
Each card shows the description, who created it and when, the number of attachments and comments, and the number of to-dos per lane.
Work on a board
- Drag a to-do card to another lane to move it on. Dropping it in To do, In progress or Done changes its status accordingly. Your own lanes keep the to-do's current status.
- Drag to-dos within a lane to change their order.
- Click + on a lane to create a to-do directly in that lane.
- Click View Overdue Only to see only overdue to-dos.
- Choose My To-Do or All To-Dos, or use the search box, to filter the cards.
- Click Go Back to Boards to return to the list.
Add and arrange lanes
- Inside the board, click + Create New and choose Step / Lane.
- Enter a Name (up to 20 characters).
- Pick a Color. Colours already used by another lane cannot be chosen.
- Click Add. The lane appears under Arrangement.
- Drag the lanes under Arrangement into the order you want.
- Click Save. Nothing is stored until you do.
To rename a lane, click its name under Arrangement, change it and click Update, then Save. On the board itself you can also drag lanes by their handle to reorder them.
Removing a lane with the bin icon on the board also deletes the to-dos in it. Move the to-dos to another lane first.
Edit or remove a board
- Click the pencil on a board card, change the name or description and click Update.
- Click the bin on a board card and confirm with Remove to remove the board.
