Smarter checkboxes

Checkboxes in Columns are now more powerful than ever! They represent the current status of your task. No check means ‘To-Do’, half-filled means ‘Doing’, and checked means ‘Done’.

To mark as doing click on checkbox with “Alt” or “Shift” pressed down, or change card’s status from the context menu.

The beauty of checkboxes is that they allow you to monitor the state of your project in real-time.

Unlike with Kanban boards, you don’t have to drag your card to the next column just to change its status. Checkboxes give you more flexibility and let you build a workflow that is right for you.

Don’t like checkboxes?

You can hide checkboxes at any time, or change them to bullets, dashes or arrows.
