Customizing the starting page of Trello can greatly enhance your Trello usage and optimize your workflow. In this article, I will lead you through a simple procedure on how to change your starting page on Trello and also provide some helpful pointers.
Step 1: Accessing the Trello settings
To begin, log in to your Trello account and open the Trello app or website. Once you’re on the main dashboard, locate the menu button on the top right corner of the screen. It looks like three horizontal lines stacked on top of each other. Click on the menu button to open the dropdown menu.
From the dropdown menu, scroll down and click on the “Settings” option. This will open the Trello settings menu, where you can customize various aspects of your Trello account.
Step 2: Navigating to the preferences section
In the Trello settings menu, you will see a list of different sections on the left side of the screen. Look for the section labeled “Preferences” and click on it. This section contains settings related to your Trello preferences, including the startup page.
Step 3: Modifying the startup page
Once you’re in the “Preferences” section, scroll down until you find the option called “Startup Page.” By default, Trello opens to the last board you accessed, but you can change this behavior to open a specific board, a specific team’s boards, or even a collection of boards.
To change the startup page, click on the dropdown menu next to the “Startup Page” option. You will see a list of different options to choose from. Depending on your preference, select the option that suits you best.
If you want Trello to open to a specific board, select the “Board” option from the dropdown menu. A new dropdown menu will appear, allowing you to choose the specific board you want to set as your startup page. Click on the board you want to select, and it will be saved as your startup page.
If you want Trello to open to a specific team’s boards, select the “Team” option from the dropdown menu. Another dropdown menu will appear, listing all the teams you are a member of. Choose the team whose boards you want to set as your startup page, and it will be saved.
Alternatively, if you want Trello to open a collection of boards, select the “Collection” option from the dropdown menu. You will be prompted to create a new collection or choose an existing one. Collections are a way to group related boards together, making it easier to navigate and manage multiple boards.
Step 4: Saving the changes
After you have selected your desired startup page option, click on the “Save” button at the bottom of the screen to save your changes. Trello will now open to your chosen startup page every time you log in or reload the app or website.
It’s worth noting that you can always go back to the Trello settings and change your startup page at any time. So feel free to experiment with different options and find what works best for you.
Conclusion
Customizing the startup page in Trello is a simple yet effective way to personalize your Trello experience and improve your productivity. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily change your startup page to a specific board, a team’s boards, or a collection of boards. Give it a try and see how it enhances your Trello workflow!
