To-do lists and kanban boards

Turn a channel into a task list with assignees and due dates, or a board with columns you drag cards across.

Last updated September 28, 2026

Both are channel types. Create a To-do list or a Kanban channel in the space or inside a group, and it lives next to your chat channels. See Channel types explained.

To-do lists

Click the add button and give the to-do a Name. Open it to fill in the rest:

  • Assignees - pick one or more members. They see the task on their own task list.
  • Due date - click Set due date. Overdue tasks are highlighted.
  • Sub-tasks - break a big task into steps. The tally on the card shows how many are done.
  • Messages - every to-do has its own thread. Use Send a message on this to-do to ask a question or post an update without cluttering the list.

Tick a to-do to complete it. Completed tasks drop out of the way but stay in the channel. Drag to reorder.

Kanban boards

A board starts with a few columns. Add a column, give it a name like In review, and pick a Colour. Mark one column as the one where Cards here are done.

  • Click the add button in a column and type a Card title.
  • Open a card for Assignees, a Due date and its own message thread.
  • Drag a card to another column, or open it and change Column if you are on a phone.
  • Move to another board sends a card to a different board in the same group.

Who can add and edit

Anyone who can post in the channel can add and edit to-dos and cards. Restrict it under the channel's Channel permissions if only the committee should touch the board.
