Make It Yours
The same Kanban, shaped to fit your hand.
The longer you look at a board, the more it helps to have it easy on the eyes and familiar to the hand. Under Style in project settings, you can shape the board’s look and behavior your own way.
- Colors: set a color for each workflow group and stage, so they’re easy to tell apart.
- Board theme: change the overall mood of the board.
- Completion effects: choose the feedback shown when you finish a task.
- Priority display & default view: how priority shows on cards, and which view — board, list, or timeline — the board opens in.
- Collapse: fold groups or stages you rarely look at by default.
Default view
You can set which view the board opens in — board, list, or timeline. If you mostly watch flow by stage, make the board your default; if scanning straight through suits you, set the list. You always start on a familiar screen instead of switching the view each time.
Task layout
You can also rearrange which tools (due date, checklist, labels, notes…) appear in the task detail, and in what order, under Task Layout. Put what you use most up front to handle a card with fewer steps. When the way you work changes, you can re-fit the layout to match.
Why shape it your way
Customizing isn’t only about looks. Telling stages apart by color, keeping your most-used tools up front, and folding away panes you don’t watch all cut the effort of re-reading the same screen each time. The closer the board fits your work and your eye, the easier it is to take in.
