How to work with Kanban Board presets

You can save your customized Kanban Board view to share it with all workspace users.

Presets save a specific view or layout of your boards, so you can quickly access it later. Presets allow you to save a specific configuration of elements, columns, and swimlanes, which can then be easily accessed later and shared with other users in your workspace. Use presets to streamline work and easily switch between different views of your data.
