How do I move cards between columns on a board?

Drag and drop feedback cards across columns to re-categorize team reflections during discussions.

Problem This Solves

Drag and drop feedback cards across columns to re-categorize team reflections during discussions.

When to Use This

Verify that Allow card dragging is enabled under Board Settings > Features.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that Allow card dragging is enabled under Board Settings > Features.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Check Feature Permission: A board Owner or facilitator can verify this setting by visiting the board's Settings tab, selecting Features, and verifying that Allow card dragging (Members can move cards between columns) is toggled ON.
  2. Select Card to Move: Return to the Cards tab and hover over the card you want to relocate.
  3. Drag Card: Click and hold the card, then drag it across to another column (e.g., from START to CONTINUE).
  4. Drop to Reposition: Release the mouse button over the target column.
  5. Verify Column Counts: Notice that the numerical card counters in the headers of both columns adjust automatically.

Expected Outcome

Cards are cleanly reorganized across columns to reflect consensus when discussions reveal an item was placed under the wrong prompt.

Troubleshooting & Realistic Tips

  • If you cannot drag cards, the facilitator likely disabled Allow card dragging to maintain strict column boundaries during silent reflection. Ask the facilitator to toggle it back ON.
