What is the board editor?

The board editor is an interactive design tool that helps you modify existing boards or create your own boards.

Work with the board editor to:

  • add, delete, and move board containers

  • change a container's color

  • add an icon to a container

  • add a description to a container

  • add one or more labels to each container

Accessing the board editor

Choose Edit a board macro on a draft page to open the board editor.

The tool icons in the board editor allow you to customize the design of the board

  • add board rows above or below the selected row

  • add board columns before or after the selected column

  • remove selected board rows or columns (including their containers)

  • add and remove a selected board container

  • edit the color scheme and emoji for a container

  • add column and row headers and footers

Container design

Individual board containers can also be customized to add or edit their name, label(s), or description.

You can

  • edit the name of the container

If you change the existing name of a container, this will not automatically add the new name as a container label.

  • edit the container labels

Add multiple labels as a comma-separated list

  • choose >more ... to edit the description for the container.

In the board editor, individual containers can also be dragged and dropped to another container on the board.
