Rename or delete a board

I want to …

… rename a board, or delete it together with its tasks.

Before you start

  • You need Owner or Admin. Members do not see Board settings.
  • The last board in a workspace cannot be deleted. Delete board stays hidden until a second board exists.
  • Deleting removes that board's columns and every task on it. Notes, topics, and tags in the workspace stay.

Here's how

  1. Open Board and tap the board title.
  2. Tap Board settings.
  3. Under Rename board, change Board name and tap Save. The title updates to the new name.
  4. To remove the board: tap Delete board. The dialog says This permanently deletes the board and every task on it.
  5. Type the board name exactly as shown. The delete button stays inactive until the text matches.
  6. Confirm. Zeitlicht opens another board in the same workspace.

The result

The board has a new name, or it and its tasks are gone and you are on a remaining board.

Common questions

Why is Delete board missing?

This workspace has only one board. Add another board first, or keep this one.

Where did the task-module switches go?

They sit on this same screen, under the name. Each board keeps its own defaults.
