Board and columns

Add a column

Your role is Member. Ask someone with Admin or Owner.

I want to …

… add a new column on the board and choose its type.

You need the Owner or Admin role. Members do not see the plus control.
A board can have at most one Done column. There is no Focus column; focus is a marker on a card (see Focus on a task).

Open Board.
Tap the plus icon Add column at the top right – a rectangle with a vertical line, as if you were adding a column.
In the dialog, enter a Column name, for example Review. Emoji are allowed in the name, for example 🚀 Review.
Under Column type pick the type:
- Standard – a regular work column.
- Backlog – a holding area, usually on the left.
- Done – completed cards; you cannot freely reorder inside this column.
Under Position choose where it goes. At the end places it after the last column. Before … places it immediately before the named column. On an empty board this choice is hidden and the column is the first one.
Confirm with Create or save.
To rename or change the type later: tap the three-dot menu in the column header and choose Edit.
To move a column one place, open the same menu and choose Move left or Move right. The first column has no Move left, and the last column has no Move right. Only Owner and Admin see this menu.
To delete, use the same menu and Delete column.

The new column is on the board. You can drop tasks into it or use Add task at the bottom.

Why is the plus missing?

Your role is Member. Ask someone with Admin or Owner.

Where is the Focus column type?

It is gone. Mark a card as your focus instead; it stays in its column.
