Copying a project board allows you to reuse a project board's title, description, and automation configuration. You can copy project boards to eliminate the manual process of creating new project boards for similar workflows.
|
|
|
|
You must have read access to a project board to copy it to a repository or organization where you have write access.
|
|
|
|
When you copy a project board to an organization, the project board's visibility will default to private, with an option to change the visibility. For more information, see "[Changing project board visibility](/articles/changing-project-board-visibility/)."
|
|
|
|
A project board's automation is also enabled by default. For more information, see "[About automation for project boards](/articles/about-automation-for-project-boards/)."
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the project board you want to copy.
|
|
{% data reusables.project-management.click-menu %}
|
|
3. Click {% octicon "kebab-horizontal" aria-label="The horizontal kebab icon" %}, then click **Copy**.
|
|
|
|
4. Under "Owner", use the drop-down menu and click the repository or organization where you want to copy the project board.
|
|
|
|
5. Optionally, under "Project board name", type the name of the copied project board.
|
|
|
|
6. Optionally, under "Description", type a description of the copied project board that other people will see.
|
|
|
|
7. Optionally, under "Automation settings", select whether you want to copy the configured automatic workflows. This option is enabled by default. For more information, see "[About automation for project boards](/articles/about-automation-for-project-boards/)."
