# **Boards**
A board is for work that is not a document yet. Create columns, add cards, drag them when the work moves. This page is the walkthrough — boards do not send invoices.

1. **1**## **Create a board from Boards**
Open Boards and create a board with a name you will still understand in three months. Leave it standalone, or connect it to a project so the board sits next to that engagement.
2. **2**## **Use the default columns, or name your own**
New boards start with To do, In progress, and Done. In Edit board you can rename columns, reorder them with the arrows, or add a column. A column can only be deleted once it has no tasks.
3. **3**## **Add a card and open it for notes**
Add a task in a column. Open the card for a title, description, priority, due date, and assignee.
4. **4**## **Drag the card when the work moves**
Use the drag handle to pull a card into the next column. Done is the last column by default — that is the progress count on the board list, not a billed invoice.
## **Boards are not billing**
Moving a card to Done does not create an invoice. When the work is ready to bill, open the project or Documents and build the invoice there. The board is the plan; the document is the record the client receives.
## **Standalone versus a project**
Standalone is fine for internal work with no client yet. Connect a board to a project when the tasks belong to an engagement — so you find the board next to the hours, not in a pile of unnamed boards.
