How to create a board in Vaiz


A board is a workspace where you manage tasks and workflows within a project. Use it to organize work and collaborate with your team.

Step 1. Open a project

Open the space menu in the top-left corner and select the space that contains your project.

Then open the Projects section in the sidebar and select the project you want to work in.
