The four buttons at the top of the Board change only how things look. Nothing about the projects changes.
| Layout | Looks like | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Columns | One column per status, like sticky notes on a wall. | Moving work along a process. |
| Cards | Status groups with cards laid out across the page. | Reading more detail on each card. |
| List | One tidy row per project. | Scanning many projects quickly. |
| Icons | Small colored tiles with initials. | A bird’s-eye view of a big board. |
