Kanban

Premium Part of the plugin platform. See Licensing.

A board whose columns come from a front-matter field. Every card is a real note.

How a card becomes a card

Give a note a status:

---
status: in-progress
priority: high
assignee: sam
tags: [docs]
---

# Publish the docs site

It appears in the in-progress column. Columns are the distinct status values across the folder.

Dragging

Dragging a card to another column rewrites status in the file. The board is an editor, not a display — the change is in the note, visible in any other editor, and captured by revision history.

Fields it reads

Field	Used for
status	Which column
priority	Card emphasis
assignee	Shown on the card
tags	Filtering

Two board plugins

Kanban is the native one described here. Board is an Obsidian-Kanban-compatible variant that reads that plugin’s format instead — useful if you are coming from Obsidian with boards already set up.
