The edit icon next to the board name allows you to adjust the board according to your needs. The eye icon hides empty swimlanes. The **two-arrow** icon collapses all swimlanes. The sorting buttons arrange the tasks in **ascending** and **descending** order.

The **"View by"** dropdown allows you to choose the board layout.

The red **"Add New Task"** button enables you to create a new task. The search bar lets you search for tasks by keywords. To the right of the search bar are icons for **filtering**, **charts**, **board history**, and **downloading** the board as a PDF.

To change the value of a task (usually the **status**), drag and drop it into the required column or row.
