With our latest update you can duplicate cards, headings or entire columns.

Whether you are creating a new column with your teams’ tasks for the upcoming week or copying your grocery list, now it’s much easier with duplicate option being available throughout Columns.

When duplicating, all properties of your cards or columns such as due dates or colors will be preserved as well.

At Columns our team uses duplication when planning our next weekly sprints. We keep a single template column handy with each team member having his own heading ready for his tasks and duplicate it when a new week comes along. It saves a lot of time and makes the whole workflow much more fluid.

Duplicating a template column to create a fresh week for teams’ tasks.
