# Move tasks on the Kanban board > See a project's tasks as cards in columns, drag them from one status to the next on a computer or a phone, and add tasks right in a column. Source: https://priortasks.com/docs/projects/kanban-board/ Last updated: 2026-11-05 The **Board** tab shows a project's tasks as cards. Each column is a status, and moving a card changes the task's status. ## The columns A **Standard** project has four columns: **Todo**, **In progress**, **Waiting** and **Done**. An **Agile** project adds **Backlog** at the start. The columns are the task statuses, so you cannot add, rename or reorder them. Moving a card to **Done** completes the task. Moving it out of **Done** reopens it. ## Move a card ### Mouse and pen Press on a card and move it by 4 pixels or more: a copy follows the pointer and the column under it lights up. Release to drop. The board scrolls by itself near its edges. Press Esc to cancel. ### Touch Press and hold a card for about a third of a second until it lifts, then drag it. If you move before it lifts, the page scrolls instead. Release without moving to open the card's menu. ### Keyboard Open the card's menu with the context-menu key or Shift+F10, or right-click it, then choose **Move to** followed by a column's name. Every column that accepts cards is listed. On a phone the board shows one column per screen, with a row of column tabs above it. Tap a tab to jump to a column. While you drag a card, those tabs become drop targets: drop on one to move the card across columns. ## What a card shows - A circle to complete the task. - The title, and the priority. In Scrum and Scrumban projects the story points replace the priority. - The due date, in red when it is overdue and **Today** when it is due today. - A repeat marker for recurring tasks. - Checklist progress, such as 2/5. - **Blocked** when the task waits for another task that is not done. - The assignee's avatar in a shared project. Click a card to open the task. ## Add a task in a column Press **Add a task** at the bottom of a column, or the **+** in its header, then type the title and press Enter. The task takes that column's status, and the line stays open for the next task. Dates, times, priority and `@name` in the title work as in the composer. Hold Shift while you click the **+** to open the full composer instead. ## How cards are ordered Open work is sorted by priority (P1 first), then by due date with undated tasks last, then by creation. In Scrum and Scrumban projects the priority step is skipped. **Done** shows the three newest finished tasks, with **+N more** to see the rest. ## The same board in All tasks The **All tasks** page can also show a board. It groups by status, priority, project or due date, and a drop changes the matching field. See [Task views](https://priortasks.com/docs/tasks/task-views/). ## Good to know - In a project shared with you as a viewer, cards cannot be moved. - A card you drag is never also clicked: the task does not open when you drop it. - [Kanban, Scrum or Scrumban](https://priortasks.com/docs/agile/kanban-scrum-scrumban/) explains how the three Agile types use the board.
