Adding checklists to cards

A checklist is a way of keeping track of subtasks within a card. You can add multiple checklists to a single card.

Adding

Add Checklists via the "Add Checklist" button in the "Add" section of the card back. Enter a title (or use the default "Checklist"), then click 'Add'.

Rename a checklist or checklist item by clicking the title, changing the text, and clicking save. You can reorder a checklist item by dragging.
