Add or edit the container name

  • adding a container name when inserting a new board or for a new container will also add the container name as a container label

Add or remove a container label

  • choose an existing label to remove

  • type in a new or additional label as a comma-separated list

Changing a container label may cause changes to the display of any existing cards on the published page. The existing cards or card-pages will not be visible as they will only have the previous container label.
