Create and edit lists
Open Tasks → Add a list, enter its name, choose a colour, and select Add list. Each project has its own board layout, so you can use a simple “To do / Done” board or stages that fit your workflow.
Use a list’s menu and Edit list to rename it or change its colour, then save. Cards keep their descriptions and attachments when you reorganise lists.
Reorder lists
Drag the list’s handle to a new position. Alternatively, open its menu and choose Move list left or Move list right. These operations save the board order immediately.
Use card movement to move work between stages. Renaming a list changes its label; it is separate from moving cards.
Delete a list
- Open the list menu and select Delete list.
- If it contains cards, choose Move remaining cards to and select another list.
- Confirm Delete list.
Cards in a populated list must be moved to a destination. Add another list first if no destination is available. Deleting an empty list needs no destination.
Defaults for new projects
Open Settings → Task columns to set the initial list names, colours, and order for future projects. Use Restore default columns to return that settings draft to Orbit’s defaults, then save.
Changing defaults does not rewrite existing boards. Edit an existing project’s lists from its Tasks section. See project defaults for the distinction between task columns and project statuses.
