Introduction to sections

Sections add order inside a project — phases, hand-offs, or meeting agendas.


Sections add order inside a project. They're the columns you see in Board layout and the headers you see in List layout.

Add a section

Open a project and use Add section (in List layout) or Add section at the end of the columns (in Board layout). Give it a name and drag tasks into it.

Patterns that work well

  • Projects with an end date
    • Phases of completion — To do, Doing, Done
    • Hand-off points — In design, In dev, In review, In marketing
  • Recurring meetings (like a 1:1)
    • Sections for Agenda and Action items

It's often worth thinking about the layout you'll use for a project while you're deciding on sections — the two go hand in hand.
