Better status column management

Better status column management

You asked for it, and we listened 😁 Now you can once again move columns on the board by dragging and dropping, rather than needing to go to your space’s workflow settings.

You can also make new status columns and edit existing ones by clicking on them, all without leaving the board.

Beta features

Public boards

Do you want to share your boards publicly or with users who don't have access to Kitemaker? We currently have a public board feature in beta. It opens up boards and anyone can view the board through a special link. You can also toggle to share metadata and decide if all work items (including the ones that are not publicly shared) should be visible on the board.

Inline comments

Discussions in the activity feed are great, but sometimes you want to comment on specific text in a work item or theme. We’re making that possible with our new inline comment feature.

If you're interested in trying these out, send us an email at hi@kitemaker.co or ping us on our community Slack!
