Add due dates and start dates to cards

Cards can have a due date, due time, and start date. These will appear on the front and back of the card.

Add and edit dates on a card

You can add or edit dates by clicking the card to open it, then click the Dates button.

You can also add or edit dates with the Quick menu, or by using the “d” shortcut while hovering your mouse of the card.

Add a start date

Start date are added in the same place as Due dates. Select the Start date checkbox to enable the start date field for that card, then choose a date. Start dates and Due dates will show on the Calendar View and Timeline View.

Mark a due date as complete

Click the checkbox next to the date to mark it as complete and turn the badge from red to green. This can be done from the card front or back.
