Kanban

Kanban, in the Backpack, lets you sort work into columns and drag cards as they progress. Use a board per project, such as exam revision or an essay.

Create a board

1. Open Kanban from your Backpack or the sidebar.
2. Click New board (or Create your first board) and name it.

A new board starts with three columns: To do, In progress and Done. Use the board menu to rename or delete a board, and to switch between boards.

Add cards

Click Add a card, type a title and press Enter. New cards land in Triage, a lane for cards you have not sorted yet. Drag a card into a column when you are ready, or between columns as work moves.

Use the Filter box to find cards by text.

Edit a card

Open a card to set:

• Column: move it from the list.
• Due: pick a date, or Clear date.
• Notes: free text.
• Steps: a small checklist, shown as done/total.

Click Delete card to remove it.

Manage columns

Click Add column to create one. The Column options menu has Rename, Move left, Move right and Delete column, and a color from eight options. Deleting a column moves its cards back to Triage.
