> Board is a new Kanban product: lists and cards with live collaboration, a review gate that requires someone else's approval before work is done, card references, templates and links to the rest of EvoHub.

Board is a new EvoHub product for tracking work, such as the action items that come out of incidents and retros.

### Boards
- Lists and cards with drag and drop, updating live for everyone on the board.
- Start from a template or a blank board.
- Board members with owner, editor and viewer roles, plus board settings and visibility.

### The review gate
- Mark one list as **review** and one as **done**. A card in review must be approved by someone it is not assigned to before it can be finished.
- Moving an approved card back to work uses up the approval, so changes made afterwards are reviewed again.
- Boards without a review list work like any other board.

### Cards
- Assignees, labels, a checklist, comments and a due date, plus a history of everything that happened to the card.
- Every card has a short reference such as DEV-42, so it can be mentioned in a stand-up or a commit message. Search accepts references.
- Link a card to the EvoHub item it came from, such as an alert, an incident, a schedule, an uptime monitor, a retro or a status page, by pasting its address.

### Finding and finishing work
- Search and filter by assignee, label or due date. Filters are saved in the address, so a filtered board can be shared.
- An **Archive** tab for finished cards, with optional automatic archiving.
- A list can celebrate a card landing in it with a short effect. Effects never play for people who have reduced motion turned on.
