Meet Cards - a new way to add information to the board. Unlike sticky notes, Cards provide you with a structured way to add more details and make things like planning or story mapping easier. Cards are simply containers for the information, which can be used for different purposes: text, task, etc.
Available on: browser version, Desktop App, Tablet App, Mobile App (limited functionality)
To start using the tool, find the Card icon in the Apps and drag it to the toolbar.
Adding Card icon to the toolbar
There are four simple ways to add a Card to the board:
1. Drag the Card icon from the sidebar and drop it anywhere on the board.
2. Select the Card icon and click on the board.
3. Use D hotkey.
4. Convert any sticker or shape to the Card.
Convert stickies and shapes to the Card and vice versa
Editing Cards
Cards are blue and empty by default, but you can choose a color from the palette, add tags, assign tasks to your team members, add links or dates. All the changes can be made both in closed and in expanded cards, except links (only in closed).
Configuring cards
The text of the heading is visible, whereas the description is hidden if the Card is not expanded. To expand the Card click on the Expand icon either on the top right corner of the card or on the pop-up menu.
Expand the Card to add a description
The description also becomes partly visible with a triple zoom. That is if the board was initially in 100% zoom, then when you press "+" three times to zoom in, the description appears.
Triple zoom
To format the text of the description field use the shortcuts:
- Cmd/Ctrl + B = Bold;
- Cmd/Ctrl + U = Underline;
- Cmd/Ctrl + I = Italic;
- “-“ + space at the beginning of a line for a bulleted list
- “1.” at the beginning of a line for a numbered list.
Please, note that you can't format text in the heading of the Card.
Text formatting with shortcuts
In the bottom collaboration bar, you will find Cards panel and If there are any Cards assigned to you, the blue dot over that icon appears. To look through those Cards, click the Cards icon at the bottom bar, then click @, and mark them as read by clicking Read all if needed.
