Manage tasks on a kanban board organized by status
Kanban Board Layout
Tasks are organized in columns by status.
Default columns: To Do, In Progress, Review, and Done. Click anywhere on a card and drag it to another column to update status — no grip icon or handle is required. Drops commit optimistically and roll back on error. Cross-column moves show anUndo toast for 8 seconds.
WIP (Work-in-Progress) Indicators
Visual cues when a column gets crowded.
Each column header shows the count of tasks in it. When a column exceeds a soft WIP threshold, the count turns amber to signal that work is piling up. This is a visual nudge only — no hard limit is enforced, and drops are never blocked.
Task Card Anatomy
Each task card surfaces key information at a glance.
Title — Task name, top of card.
Due date — Overdue tasks display a red indicator.
Priority badge — Low (gray), Medium (blue), High (amber), Urgent (red).
Assignee avatar — Profile avatar of the assigned team member.
Tag chips — Up to three tag chips; overflow collapses to a count.
Calendar sync badge — Shown when the task is synced to Google or Outlook.
Subtask progress — Small progress bar if the task has subtasks.
Card Action Menu
Quick actions from any card without opening the detail panel.
Every task card has a three-dot menu in the top-right corner (always visible on touch devices; revealed on hover or keyboard focus on desktop). It opens a dropdown with:
Edit — Opens the full task detail panel.
Status — Change status directly (To Do, In Progress, Review, Done). The current status is disabled.
Priority — Change priority directly (Low, Medium, High, Urgent). The current priority is disabled.
Delete — Soft-deletes the task with an 8-second Undo toast.
Optimistic updates
Status, priority, and delete actions render instantly and reconcile with the server in the background. If a request fails, the change rolls back and an error banner appears. Cross-column drags and status changes also surface an Undo toast for 8 seconds.
Bulk Actions
Select multiple tasks to act on them at once.
Hover a card to reveal its selection checkbox and tick the tasks you want to act on. A bulk action bar appears with options to:
Assign to a different team member
Set priority for every selected task
Change status (including mark as done)
Apply or remove tags
Delete with a 5-second undo toast
Undo window
Bulk delete is reversible for 5 seconds via the toast. After that, tasks are permanently removed.
Keyboard Shortcuts

Common shortcuts on the Task Board:
n — New task
/ — Focus search
j / k — Next / previous task
Space — Peek task detail
c — Mark selected task complete
Esc — Close panels / clear selection
Ctrl+Shift+N — Create task from anywhere in the app
Calendar Sync Toggle
Per-task control over whether the task flows to your connected calendar.
Each task with a due date has a Sync to calendar toggle. When enabled and you have a connected Google or Outlook calendar, the task appears as an event on its due date. Completing or deleting the task updates the event. See the Calendar Sync article for two-way sync behavior and conflict resolution.
Filtering
Narrow the board to specific tasks.
Project — Only tasks belonging to a project.
Assignee — Tasks assigned to a specific team member.
Priority — Low, Medium, High, or Urgent.
Due date — Overdue, today, this week, custom range.
Tags — One or more tags (AND match).
Status — To Do, In Progress, Done.
Mobile Behavior
The task board adapts to small screens.
On phones, columns scroll horizontally one at a time, and swipe gestures replace drag-and-drop: swipe right on a card to advance its status, swipe left to open quick actions (reassign, complete, delete). See the Mobile article for the full gesture reference.
Standalone and project tasks
Tasks can be standalone or associated with a project. Standalone tasks appear on the Task Board alongside project tasks. Use the project filter to isolate tasks for a specific project, or clear it to see everything in one view.
