When you enable Kanban for the first time, three default columns are created: “New”, “In Progress”, and “Done”.
Adding Columns
You can add up to 23 new columns. There are two ways to do this:
- Hover over the space between columns until a vertical line appears, then click the plus icon.
- Open any column’s menu and select “Create column on the left” or “Create column on the right”.
Editing Columns
To rename a column, double-click its title or select “Rename” from the column menu. This works for all columns, including the default ones.
-
Reordering: You can rearrange columns simply by dragging and dropping them. Note that the first column (“New”) and the last one (“Done”) always stay in place.
-
Deleting: You can delete a column through its menu. Default columns “New” and “In Progress” cannot be deleted. When you delete a column, all its tasks are automatically moved to the first column (“New”).
You can adjust the column width by dragging its right edge:
- Dragging to the right increases the column width. At some point, tasks inside it will start aligning into multiple columns.
- Dragging to the left narrows the column until it becomes a thin strip showing only the total number of tasks.
Adding Columns
To add a new column, open the context menu of an existing column and select “Add column on the left/right”.
Editing Columns
To rename or delete a column, tap the menu icon (three dots) in its header. From the menu that appears, select “Rename” or “Delete”.
-
Deleting: When you delete a column, all its tasks are automatically moved to the first column (“New”). Default columns “New” and “Done” cannot be deleted.
-
To change the order of columns, press and hold the header of the column you want to move. A special mode called “Reorder Columns” will open, allowing you to drag and drop columns to rearrange them.
Note: the first column (“New”) and the last one (“Done”) always stay in their places.
