It is suggested to use a Kanban board as a PM board, with swimlanes by epics. But where and how do you assign issues to Epics given that the epic panel is not visible on Kanban boards. Do you edit each issue and use the Epic link drop down are is there a more drag-n-drop way?

You'll need to add the Epic Link by editing Issues, there's no way to manage Epics in Kanban Boards similar to Scrum Boards' Plan mode.
