Archiving, Searching, and Managing Cards in Trillo

Trillo is a powerful tool for organizing tasks and managing projects effectively. In this article, we will explore various techniques for archiving, searching, and managing cards in Trillo. Whether you want to clean up your workspace, find specific information quickly, or delete unnecessary elements, Trillo provides easy and efficient ways to accomplish your tasks.

1️⃣ Archiving Cards and Searching

2.1 Archiving Cards

Archiving cards in Trillo offers a way to declutter your workspace without permanently deleting them. Instead of deleting cards, you can simply archive them and retrieve them whenever needed. To archive a card, locate the card you want to archive and click on it. In the card's menu, you will find an option to archive the card. By archiving cards, you can maintain a clean and organized workspace while keeping important information accessible.

2.2 Searching for Cards

Searching for cards is another essential feature in Trillo that enables you to find specific information quickly. At the top of the Trillo interface, you'll notice a large search box. You can use this search box to search for cards based on labels, members, or general keywords. Simply enter your search query and Trillo will display relevant cards matching your search criteria. This makes it easy to locate specific cards, even if they are archived or spread across different lists.

2️⃣ Archived Items

3.1 Accessing Archived Items

If you have archived a significant number of cards and want to find a specific archived card, there is an easy way to access archived items in Trillo. Go to the right-hand side of the interface and click on the "Show Menu" button. From the menu, select the option "Archived Items." Trillo will display a list of all the cards you have archived. This provides a convenient way to review archived items and retrieve any necessary information.

3.2 Restoring Archived Cards

When you locate an archived card that you want to restore, Trillo offers a simple way to bring it back to your workspace. Within the archived items list, you will find an option to "Send to Board" next to each card. By clicking on this option, Trillo will restore the card to its original location before it was archived. This allows you to effortlessly retrieve archived cards, ensuring important information is easily accessible.

3️⃣ Deleting Cards

4.1 Deleting Individual Cards

Deleting individual cards in Trillo is straightforward. To delete a card, open the card and click on the "Delete" button located at the bottom right corner of the interface. Trillo will prompt you for confirmation before permanently deleting the card. Keep in mind that deleted cards cannot be recovered, so make sure you no longer need the information within the card before proceeding with deletion.

4.2 Deleting Lists

While you can delete individual cards, Trillo does not provide an option to delete entire lists. Instead, you can archive a list to remove it from your workspace temporarily. Archiving a list ensures that the cards within the list are not accessible, effectively removing the list from view. If you no longer need the list and its contents, archiving is a suitable option.

4.3 Deleting Boards

Deleting entire boards is another task you may come across in Trillo. To delete a board, navigate to the board you wish to delete and access the board menu. Within the menu, you will find an option to close the board. Closing the board removes it from your active boards list but keeps it accessible for reopening if needed. Keep in mind that closing a board does not permanently delete it. If you want to permanently delete a board, there is an option to do so within the closed board section of the menu.

4️⃣ Closing Boards

5.1 Closing Boards

Closing a board in Trillo is a way to temporarily remove it from your active boards list. To close a board, access the board menu and select the option to close the board. When a board is closed, it is no longer visible in your active boards list but can be reopened later if necessary. Closing a board is useful when you want to declutter your workspace without permanently deleting the board and its contents.

5.2 Reopening Closed Boards

If you have closed a board and need to access it again, Trillo provides the option to reopen closed boards. To reopen a closed board, go to the "Show Menu" button and select the "Closed Boards" option. From the list of closed boards, choose the board you want to reopen and click on the "Reopen" button. The closed board will be restored to your active boards list, making it accessible once again.

5.3 Permanently Deleting Boards

While closing a board allows you to reopen it if needed, there may be cases where you want to permanently delete a board. To permanently delete a board in Trillo, access the closed board section from the board menu. Within the closed board section, you will find the option to permanently delete the board. Be cautious when using this option, as all the data associated with the board will be permanently removed and cannot be recovered.

5️⃣ Conclusion

In conclusion, Trillo provides a range of options for archiving, searching, and managing cards. By utilizing these features, you can keep your workspace organized, retrieve important information, and delete unnecessary elements. Whether you need to archive cards, search for specific information, delete individual cards, close boards temporarily, or permanently delete boards, Trillo offers a user-friendly interface and intuitive functionality to simplify your workflow.
