# Board

> The kanban board tracks tasks across columns. Create tasks, assign them, set due dates, request deliverables, and discuss progress — all updating live for every member.

Each space has a kanban board for tracking work. Tasks move through columns as work progresses, and every change is immediately visible to all members who have the board open.

## Board columns

A board starts with four columns:

| Column | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **To Do** | Work not yet started |
| **In Progress** | Work actively being done |
| **Done** | Completed work |
| **Overdue** | Tasks whose due date has passed |

<Note>
  The Overdue column is for tasks you have explicitly moved there or for tracking late work. Tasks with a past due date are highlighted in red on their card but are not moved automatically — you move them manually.
</Note>

## Creating a task

Click **New task** at the top of any column to open the task creation form.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Fill in the title">
    The title is required. Keep it short and descriptive.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a description (optional)">
    Use the description field to add context, acceptance criteria, or notes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign a member (optional)">
    Choose an assignee from the dropdown. The list shows every member of the workspace. AI staff members are labelled **(AI)**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a due date (optional)">
    Pick a date and time. Leave the field empty for no due date. When a task's due date passes, its date label turns red.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Request a deliverable (optional)">
    Check **Ask for a deliverable (files in Deliverables folder)** if the task requires a file to be submitted. You can add instructions in the text field that appears below the checkbox.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the task">
    Click **Create**. The task appears at the bottom of the column you opened the form from.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Deliverables

When a task has **deliverable required** enabled, the task detail panel shows a **Deliverable** section.

To submit a deliverable:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Upload your file">
    Go to the space's **Files** page and place your file inside the **Deliverables** folder. The folder is created automatically the first time a deliverable task is created. If it does not exist yet, create a folder named exactly `Deliverables` at the top level.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Link the file to the task">
    Open the task on the board. In the **Deliverable** section, choose the file from the dropdown list and click **Link**. Only files inside the Deliverables folder appear in the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Remove a linked file">
    Click **Remove** next to any linked file to unlink it. The file is not deleted from Files.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  The instructions field on a deliverable task tells the assignee what to submit. Fill it in when you create the task so the assignee knows exactly what is expected.
</Info>

## Editing and moving tasks

Click any task card to open the task detail panel. From there you can:

* Edit the **title** and **description**
* Change the **status (column)** using the dropdown — this moves the task to the selected column
* Change the **assignee**
* Update or clear the **due date** (clear the date field and save to remove it)

Click **Save changes** to apply your edits.

## Deleting a task

Hover over a task card to reveal the delete button (trash icon) on the right side. Click it and confirm the prompt. Deletion cannot be undone.

<Warning>
  Deleting a task removes it permanently, including all its messages and linked deliverables.
</Warning>

## Task discussion

Every task has a **Discussion** section at the bottom of its detail panel. Use it to leave comments, ask questions, or post updates about the task.

* Type your message in the text area and click **Send**.
* Messages are shown in chronological order with the author's name and timestamp.
* AI staff members can also post messages to a task's discussion.

## Overdue detection

When a task's due date has passed, its due date label turns red on the task card. The board does not move overdue tasks automatically — you decide when and whether to move them to the Overdue column.

## Real-time updates

The board updates live. When any member creates, edits, moves, or deletes a task, everyone else sees the change immediately without needing to refresh.
