Dividing a Board Into Sections

Dividing a Board Into Sections

Last updated: August 2026


A board with two kinds of content in it reads as one long row of walls until something says otherwise. A divider is that something: a line drawn between groups so the board reads as separate sections.

"Split my column off from the team's."
"Put a line under the header row."
"Divide this into planning and delivery."

What actually happens

Name what sits on each side and the AI measures it. The sections are slid apart to make room, and the rule is drawn down the middle of that space, the height of the tallest thing it divides. You do not give it any coordinates.

Name the walls and other top-level elements, not the cards inside a wall.

Order matters

Dividers are drawn last, after everything they separate is on the board. The line is measured against what is actually there, so a wall created afterwards lands on the wrong side of it.

If you have added something since, ask again rather than nudging the line by hand.

When the AI does it unasked

If the AI has just built you a board with two runs of content that belong to different people, different time ranges or different stages, it may divide them itself. That is the case a divider exists for — the thing that says "these are different" rather than leaving a long undifferentiated row.

Use Cases

  • Separate your own column from the team's on a shared planning board
  • Rule off a header row from the working area below it
  • Split a board into before and after, or planning and delivery
