Cards
Creating, moving, archiving, and managing kanban cards.
Cards are the unit of work on a kanban board. Each card has a title, optional description, status (column), due date, and owner.
What you can do with a card
- Create — “add a card to my Sales board: send proposal to Acme”
- Move across columns — drag in the UI, or “move the Acme card to Done”
- Edit — change title, description, due date, assignee
- Archive — move to the archive (recoverable any time)
- Delete — permanent
- Link to email or task — when a card came from a thread, click through to source

- Due date — optional, surfaces in your task list and Brief
- Owner — usually you, but can be assigned for shared boards
