How do I "favorite" a kanban board?

Jeff Alpher

In the latest Jira with the left-side control panel, I don't see a way to "favorite" a custom Kanban board. The only way I've discovered to find the board is to search in the "recent" item list. I see a "Boards" tab on the "For You" page but the list isn't searchable and is truncated at about 30 or so boards so isn't usable.

Hi @Jeff Alpher,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

If you hover on the board name on the left you will see the three dot menu and from there you can star the board.

Hey @Jeff Alpher,

For a team-managed project, ensure the Board has the 'Set as default' option and then select 'Add to starred' from the menu.

For 'real' boards, the solution provided by @Mikael Sandberg should fit.

Alternatively, head over to https://YOUR_SITE.atlassian.net/jira/boards and 'star' from there.

Regards,
Thorsten

That is fantastic -- thanks! I needed that.

Can you tell me how to get there from the UI? I still cannot find the link (although typing the URL worked just fine)

Terrific follow up from the previous answer. Awesome! and thanks! -- Jeff

Figured out that last query. I see the "Boards" tab at the bottom of the search window. Go to "Search, click "Jira" and then look below "Recently Reviewed" and "Recent" sections.

Glad to hear your request is resolved. The bottom of the search modal is the exact place from which I took the link. Enjoy your starred boards!
