Add a column

I want to …

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

Before you start

  • You need the Owner or Admin role. Members do not see the plus control.
  • A board can have at most one Focus column and one Done column.

Here's how

  1. Open Board.
  2. Tap the plus icon Add column at the top right – a rectangle with a vertical line, as if you were adding a column.
  3. In the dialog, enter a Column name, for example Review.
  4. Under Column type pick the type:
    • Standard – a regular work column.
    • Backlog – a holding area, usually on the left.
    • Focus – holds exactly one task and drives the timer.
    • Done – completed cards; you cannot freely reorder inside this column.
  5. Confirm with Create or save.
  6. To rename or change the type later: tap the three-dot menu in the column header and choose Edit.
  7. To delete, use the same menu and Delete column. If Focus still has a task, move it first.

The result

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

Common questions

Why is the plus missing?

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

Can I have two Focus columns?

No. There is exactly one Focus column per board.
