Select Save.
To archive a board:
Open the board settings.

📌 Note: Archiving a board removes it from your active board list but does not delete it or its tasks.

Enter a column name and select Save.

AI Board Summary
⚠️ Important: AI Board Summary is part of the Kanban Premium add-on and is not included in the Evo Standard offering.

Anomalies such as overdue items and blocked tasks.
Recommended actions based on the current board data.
