What is a board card?

A card is a placeholder, like a sticky note. One or more cards can be added to a board container.

A card can be just on the board or the card can be dynamically linked to a Confluence page - a page-card.

Add a card to a container

 To add a card to a container mouse-over the top right of a container and choose the + (plus) symbol.

If the card name is the same as an existing page in the current space the card is linked to the page. This is known as a page-card. An option is provided to search other spaces for a page.

If no page is found with the card name, the card is added only as a card on the board.

Converting a card

A card can later be converted to a page-card creating a linked page as a child page of the current page.

Choose the card and select the Page button.

Choose Convert to page.

The card is linked to a newly created page with a page title the same as the card name.

The linked page will be appended with the current container label(s).

Deleting a card on a board will not delete the linked page.

Moving cards between containers

Cards can be dragged and dropped between containers on the same board.

Cards moved to a new container will be attributed with the label(s) of the new container. Linked pages will be appended with the new container label(s).

The source container label(s) will be removed.
