Add a New Card

Cards or Kanban cards are one of the most important parts of a Kanban board. To get your Kanban process going, you start by creating a number of cards to list out the different tasks you need to complete.

There are two simple ways you can add a new card to your Kanban board.

The ‘Add Card’ button is located at the top right corner of your Kanban board, next to your avatar.
