• Click the Columns tab

The Column settings page displays, with the Kanban Backlog as the leftmost column, in the following example, the column "To Do"

• in the columns section, drag a status to the Kanban Backlog column. Typically, this would be the column for which you plan work for your team. In the previous example, the "Draft" status
  
  
• Back to our Agile Backlog, you have to select the board where you just configured your Kanban backlog, in the following example, the board Kanban: Teams in Space

You will see the new configured status "Draft" in the right section.
