Kanban

Kanban (format-level) is a workflow board with columns and cards—cards can reference pins, pages, pinboards, and other workspace content. Distinct from the kanban-board pin type, which is a single pin with columns inside one card.

When to use kanban

  • Pipeline tracking — Ideas → in progress → review → done across a team.
  • Content ops — Move pages, pins, or deliverables through review stages.
  • Cross-format planning — Cards that open previews of pages or pinboards without leaving the board.

Key features

  • Custom columns — Name, color, and order per column.
  • Drag-and-drop cards — Move work between stages.
  • Card types — Link to pins, pages, pinboards, showcases, and more.
  • Preview panel — Open a card’s content in a side panel.
  • Assignees — Assign workspace members to cards (workspace plans).
