The kanban board is your primary view for managing work. Issues are organised into columns representing different stages of your workflow, and you can drag and drop them as work progresses.
<Frame> </Frame>The kanban board consists of:
Each column represents a status in your workflow. By default, projects have six statuses:
| Column | Purpose |
|---|---|
| To do | Ready to start |
| In progress | Currently being worked on |
| In review | Waiting for code review |
| Done | Completed |
Two additional statuses are hidden by default: Backlog (for ideas and future work) and Cancelled (for issues that won't be done). You can access them via the status tabs above the board.
You can customise these columns - add new ones, rename them, change colours, or hide/show ones you need.
Each card shows key information at a glance:
Click any card to open the full issue panel.
Move issues between columns and reorder them within columns using drag and drop.
<Frame> </Frame>To change an issue's status:
The issue's status updates immediately, and all team members see the change in real-time.
To change the order of issues within a column:
While dragging, you'll see visual feedback:
Above the board, tabs let you switch between views:
<Frame> </Frame>| Tab | View | Shows |
|---|---|---|
| Active | Kanban | Kanban columns for visible statuses |
| All | List View | All issues including hidden statuses |
| Backlog, Cancelled, etc. | List View | Issues in that specific hidden status |
Select multiple issue cards to perform bulk actions directly from the board.
Selected cards are highlighted with an accent ring. While issues are selected, drag and drop is disabled to prevent accidental moves.
When two or more issues are selected, a bulk action bar appears at the bottom of the screen. You can change the status, priority, or assignees of all selected issues at once, or delete them. See Selecting Multiple Issues for full details.
Click any issue card to open the issue panel on the right side of the screen. The panel shows full details and lets you edit the issue.
Instead of opening an issue, you can change its status by dragging it to another column. This is the fastest way to update many issues.

You don't need to refresh the page - everything syncs automatically.
<Info> If you and a teammate move the same issue at the same time, the last action wins. The board will show the final position after both actions complete. </Info>Columns with no issues show an empty state. You can:
