## Setting a limit on the number of items in a column
You can set a limit for the number of cards in a particular column in a board layout. Setting a limit does not restrict anyone from adding cards that would exceed the column's limit, nor does it restrict any automations from adding cards. Column limits are unique to each view in your project.
The current count of cards and the column's limit is displayed at the top of the column and is highlighted when the current count exceeds the limit. You can use column limits to communicate how you want the column to be used and to make clear at which point action needs to be taken to reduce the number of the cards in the column.
1. Click {% octicon "kebab-horizontal" aria-label="Column context menu" %} next to the name of the column you want to modify.
![Screenshot showing a top of a column in the table layout. The column context menu button is highlighted with an orange outline.](/assets/images/help/projects-v2/board-column-menu.png)
1. In the menu, click {% octicon "number" aria-hidden="true" %} **Set column limit**.
1. Under "Column limit", type the card limit for this column.
1. Optionally, to remove the limit, type **0**.
1. Click **Save**.
