Columns (Lists)

Organize your workflow with columns

1. Open your board - Navigate to the board where you want to add a column.
2. Find "+ Add Column" - Located at the right side of your board, after the last column.
3. Enter a column title - Use a clear name that describes this workflow stage (e.g., "Review", "Testing", "Ready for Deploy").
4. Press Enter or click "Add" - The column is created and ready for cards.
5. Add cards - Start adding cards to your new column or drag existing cards into it.

1. Click on the column title - The title becomes editable.
2. Type the new name - Enter your updated column name.
3. Press Enter or click away - The new name is saved automatically.
4. Alternative method: Click the column menu (⋮) and select "Rename".

1. Click and hold the column header - Grab the column by its title area.
2. Drag left or right - Move the column to its new position.
3. Drop in place - Release to set the column's new position.
4. The order is saved automatically - All cards within the column move with it.

WIP (Work In Progress) limits help prevent overloading any stage of your workflow:

1. Click the column menu (⋮) - Found at the top of the column.
2. Select "Set WIP Limit" - Opens the limit configuration.
3. Enter a number - This is the maximum cards allowed in this column.
4. Save the limit - The column now shows the limit in its header.
5. Visual warning - When approaching or exceeding the limit, the column header changes color.
6. Why use WIP limits? - Prevents work from piling up and helps identify bottlenecks.

Access column settings from the menu (⋮) in the column header:

• Mark as QA Column - When enabled, cards leaving this column to earlier columns increment a "reject count" for quality tracking.
• Archive All Cards - Quickly archive all completed cards in a column.
• Move All Cards - Move all cards from this column to another column.
• Sort Cards - Sort cards by due date, priority, or creation date.
• Copy Column - Duplicate the column structure (without cards).

1. Move cards first - If you want to keep the cards, move them to another column.
2. Click the column menu (⋮) - Access the column options.
3. Select "Delete Column" - A confirmation dialog appears.
4. Confirm deletion - The column and any remaining cards are permanently removed.
