Switching views

Updated 18 May 2026

Switch in the top-right of any project. Your view choice is per-user — your designer's view doesn't change yours.

The three

  • Board — kanban-style columns. Drag tasks between columns. The board has five sub-modes that change what the columns mean: by status, by workflow, by parent task, by assignee, or by owner. Pick the grouping from the same menu where you switch views.
  • Outline — hierarchical tree. Sortable, filterable, fastest for skimming a lot of tasks. Closest to a spreadsheet without being one.
  • Timeline — Gantt-style bars across a calendar grid. Good when dates depend on each other.

What's the same across views

The data is the same — these are different lenses on the same underlying tasks. Move a task in the board and it's moved in the timeline too. Comments, attachments, activity logs — all unchanged.

What's different

  • The board groups (and re-groups via sub-modes); outline doesn't.
  • The timeline shows date ranges; the board doesn't.

Saved per-user views (coming)

A way to save a filter + view combo as a named view is on the roadmap. Today, the view choice and filter selection both reset between sessions.
