How do task sections work?

Organise tasks into sections your workspace defines — for stages, teams, or priorities.

Sections are the columns you see in Kanban view and the groupings you see in list view — your workspace defines what they mean, whether that's a workflow stage, a team, or a priority level.

Using sections

1. Open Tasks in Kanban or list view.
2. Drag a task into a different section to move it — for example, from In Progress to Done.
3. In list view, tasks are grouped under their section header; you can usually collapse a section to focus on the rest.

Managing sections

Admins can add, rename, reorder, or remove sections from the Tasks settings for a group or workspace, depending on how your workspace is set up. Changing a section's name doesn't move the tasks inside it — they stay right where they are.

Tips

• Keep the number of sections small enough that Kanban stays scannable — three to six columns usually works better than a dozen.
• If you need a different lens on the same tasks (by assignee, by due date), that's what switching to list or calendar view is for — sections don't need to cover every angle.
