Card details

A card's detail page keeps the work and its discussion together. Open any card to explain the task and see who is doing it.

Give the next person enough context#

For a payment bug, include what failed, the expected result, and the checks that show it is fixed. Teammates can discuss that information on the same card.

Describe and assign the work#

1. Click a card on the board or in the list.
2. Click the description to edit it. Explain the result you need, then choose Save. The editor supports formatted text and a Markdown source mode.

3. Set Status, Priority, Assignee, and Labels in the properties. Add a due date or a parent when the work needs them.

4. If the project uses criteria, add specific checks under Acceptance criteria. Tick them when you have checked the result. The project's Definition of done can add shared completion checks.

Discuss and connect the work#

1. Find Activity below the main content. Use Comments to focus on discussion or History to see recorded changes.
2. Write a comment. Type @ and select a project member to mention them. Use the editor's attachment control when you need to share a file.
3. To discuss a specific passage, select text in the saved description and choose Comment. Save or discard description edits before starting an inline thread.
4. In Links, click Add link, then add a relationship such as Blocks, Blocked by, or Relates to, then choose the other card.

Tips and common mistakes#

• Assignment and weekly commitment are separate. A person can plan work for their week without changing the assignee.
• Put the lasting explanation in the description. Use comments for the conversation around it.
• Criteria depend on project settings. An absent section does not mean your card has been deleted or damaged.
