<p>Boards are a powerful way to organize and visualize your Todoist projects. From weekly meal plans to five-year business strategies, boards make it easy to get a bird's-eye view of your projects and make progress from start to finish.</p>
<p>You can easily drag and drop tasks wherever you need them, add and rearrange sections as you like, and get a perfect view of the work you need to do.</p>

<p>Each section in a project is displayed as a separate column with tasks shown as cards. Tasks that don’t belong to any section appear in the first default column with the “No Section” title.</p>
<p>Take a quick walkthrough of how boards work:</p>

<h2>FAQ</h2>
<div data-accordion="">
<h4>Can I apply board view to my filters?</h4>
<p>Board view is currently not available in filters.</p>
<h4>When I change the view, does it change for my teammates in a shared project?</h4>
<p>Yes, the selected view is synced between project members. If someone switches to a different view, it will switch for everyone else in a project.</p>
<h4>When I move tasks around on my board, does it sync to other collaborators?</h4>
<p>Yes, any changes you make in board view are synced between all project members just like in a regular list view.</p>
<h4>How can I reorder sub-tasks in board view?</h4>
<p>At this time you can’t reorder sub-tasks right from board view. We hope to bring this option later on. In the meantime, you can tap/click a task to open task view and then reorder the sub-tasks there.</p>
<h4>Can I access completed tasks in board view?</h4>
<p>Yes, you can see <a href="https://get.todoist.help/hc/en-us/articles/205847912" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">completed tasks</a> the same way as you access them in the list view.</p>
<h4>Is it possible to select multiple tasks in board view?</h4>
<p>Yes, it is possible to <a href="https://get.todoist.help/hc/en-us/articles/6246468182684" target="_blank" rel="noopener">select multiple tasks</a> in board view on all platforms. </p>
<h4>Can I print in a board layout?</h4>
<p>It’s not currently possible. When <a href="https://get.todoist.help/hc/en-us/articles/205064602" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">printing</a> in board view, your project will be automatically rendered as a list. We may implement a board layout for printing in the future.</p>
