Customizing lanes

Lanes are the columns on your kanban board. Each workspace has its own set of lanes.

New workspaces come with four lanes:

LaneTypeColorBehavior
ReadyreadyOrangeFirst lane, issues promoted here from backlog
In ProgressprogressBlueActive work
In ReviewreviewPurpleWaiting for review
DonedoneGreenCompleted, closing the issue on the provider
  1. Go to Settings > Lanes.
  2. Enter a name in the New lane name field.
  3. Select a lane type from the dropdown (or leave as “No type”).
  4. Click Add Lane.

Lane types control the accent color and behavior:

  • ready (orange): the starting lane for promoted issues
  • progress (blue): active work
  • review (purple): awaiting review
  • done (green): completed work; moving an issue here closes it on the provider

Lanes with no type have no special behavior.

Drag the handle on the left side of each lane to reorder. The board columns match this order.

Click Rename, edit the name inline, then click Save.

Click the delete button next to a lane. Issues in a deleted lane are moved to the backlog.
