About this Board

About This Board contains meta-information and lets board members add context to help orient anyone who has access to the board. It has three sections:

  • Board admins: The who behind the board. It highlights who are the admin (or admins) on that board.

  • Description: The what, why – and even how! – behind the board. Any board member can edit the description to add context around the board’s purpose, how it’s meant to be used, and any rules of engagement. The description field works just the same as cardback descriptions, so you can add links, mention members, and apply all your favorite formatting with markdown!

  • Actions: Your one-stop-shop for commenting and voting permissions. If you’re a visitor to the board, you’ll be able to see whether you can comment or vote. If you’re an admin, you can see where commenting and voting permissions are currently set, and also change those permissions with a handy link to the Settings menu panel.

On all boards, About This Board can be found within the menu, and on public boards, the menu will open by default to display the About This Board panel.

Remember, public boards are no longer visible to search engines like Google, but you may still have visitors come across your board that could benefit from any additional context you provide!

Activity

The activities of the board can be found on the Menu clicking on the activity section, expanding to a new section with the activity feed letting you view all of the changes that occur across your entire board. When you click 'Load more activity' you can load more information since the creation of the board.

No Menu?

If you don't see the menu on your board, then it's probably just closed. To reopen the menu, click on the three dots button that is in the top right corner of your board under your name.
