Your first board

A fresh install has no columns, so the first new tab shows Your board is empty and two buttons: Create Column and Import Data.

Click Create Column. Name it after something you actually do — “Reading list”, “This week” — and click Add Column.
Under the column’s title is a small row of buttons. Click the + and choose Bookmark, Group Bookmarks, Note or Task.
Fill the dialog in and press the button at the bottom. It is named after what you are adding: Add Bookmark, Add Task, and so on.

Add a second and third column the same way, from the Add New Column button in the header. Three columns is a good place to stop. Drag cards between columns to rearrange them, and drag a whole column by the grip in its title row.

In your browser, straight away, under the profile you are currently in. Nothing is uploaded and no account is involved. You can take it all with you at any time from the gear → Data Management → Export JSON.
