Here's how to change the layout of your board.
Change your format
- Click on the Settings cog icon (⚙️) on the sidebar on the right-hand side of your board.
- Click Layout - Under Layout, click on the drop-down menu next to 'Format' to see the different format types.
- Select your desired format.
Format options
- Wall: Posts will be ordered in a brick-like layout, choosing the most compact arrangement for the posts.
- Columns: Stack content into vertical columns with this format. This layout includes the same structure as a Wall but incorporates sections with it!
- Grid: Posts are arranged in rows of boxes.
- Table: Arrange fields into structured tables. This format will create a board in a table-like layout where each post you publish will create a row and each field within that post creates a column.
- Freeform: Previously known as Canvas, the Freeform layout allows contributors to scatter, group and connect content in any way throughout the board.
- Timeline: Timeline is perfect for presenting content in chronological order in horizontal fashion.
- If you prefer the old Timeline format with the dashed/dotted line included, feel free to use this board and Remake it onto your dashboard.
- Stream: Organize content in an easy to read, top-to-bottom format that is ideal for daily entries and blog posts.
- Map: Allows contributors to add content to pinned locations on a map.
These formats have the option to turn sections ON/OFF:
Grid // Table // Timeline // Stream // Map
The Wall and Freeform layouts do not include sections. To get a similar look to the Wall format with sections, use the Columns format.
The Columns format will always have sections.
Grid // Table // Timeline // Stream // Map
The Wall and Freeform layouts do not include sections. To get a similar look to the Wall format with sections, use the Columns format.
The Columns format will always have sections.
If you changed your format while editing your board and you don't like how it displays your posts, you can always revert to the original format without losing your content. Just go back to the Layout section of your Settings panel and change back to the original format!
