Move a list to another board

With several boards, you can move a list and all its tasks from one board to another.

  1. Open the three dots menu (⋮) next to the list name.
  2. Hover “Move to another board”.
  3. Click the destination board (“Move to Work” in the example below).

The Move to another board submenu listing the destination boards

The list disappears from the current board and appears at the end of the destination board, with all its tasks. Nothing changes in Google Tasks, which does not know about boards.

Shared boards are listed among the destinations with a group icon. Moving a list involves the other members of the board, so TasksBoard asks you to confirm first:

  • Onto a shared board: the list is shared with every member of the board, exactly as if you had created it there. Only lists you own can be moved onto a shared board: a list someone else shares with you stays where it is.
  • Off a shared board: the list stops being shared with the members of the board. Each of them keeps a private copy of the list as it was, on their Main Board, and no longer receives your changes. People you shared the list with directly (with its own link, not through the board) keep sharing it. Only the owner of the list, the person who created it, can move it off a shared board; for everyone else the item is greyed out.
  • The default list of your Google account (the first list) stays on the Main Board: its “Move to another board” item is greyed out.
  • A list that is still being created (it has not reached Google Tasks yet) cannot be moved onto a shared board for a few seconds.
