Just like folders on your computer, boards can be placed inside of one another. It's a great way to keep projects clean and organized.

For example, if you're planning a project, you can create a main board and then add sub-boards within it to break down the work into sections or phases. This setup lets you keep related information grouped together without cluttering the main board.

​

Option 1: Go into a board and create a new board.

Option 2: Drag a board into another board.

In the top left of Milanote (on the desktop version), you'll find the board navigation. This makes it easy to see the structure of your boards. It shows the list of boards you navigated through to get to your current board.

When you share a board with someone, they’ll also gain access to any nested sub-boards. This makes it simple to share an entire project without manually sharing each board. If you change the board permissions or editors on the 'parent board', permissions for its nested boards will also change.

Your home board is like the desktop on your computer. It's private—just for you—and you can organize it however you'd like. Here are some examples of how to organize your home board.

You can drag boards into the board navigation to move them up. Just drag and drop the board on the title of the board you'd like to move it to.

Your home board is always private, so you can be assured that notes and images there can't be seen by anyone else. Learn more about how the home board works.

When you are given a link to a board, the easiest way to add it to your own workspace is to open it using the browser version of Milanote! You'll see a "Save to home" option at the top left of the board.

Clicking "Save to Home" will add the board to the "Unsorted" column on your home board.
