Blocking Cards

In this article

Sometimes, things happen that force you to stop a process. In a case like this, you want to block the related card so that everyone knows the status of the card and the reason why it’s blocked. Only licensed users (administrators, collaborators) can perform the blocking/unblocking.

Go to Board Settings on the top/right side to access the Card Blocking Settings. Then, select Card Blocking from the list of settings.
