Width of Trello card for displaying tables

Question

I find the current Trello card width very limiting especially as I have added a table 6 cols wide but only 3 stay visible at any time.

I also find the comments and activities take up too much screen space as I personally do not see value in this column.

Are then any solutions built or on the way

Hi @George Bullock

I don’t think Trello currently has a built-in setting to make the card back wider.

From the current Trello docs, the new card back lets you expand/collapse the comments and activity area, but it doesn’t expose a true width/layout customization for the card itself. So if your main pain point is viewing wide tables inside a card, that looks more like a product limitation than a hidden setting.

A few practical workarounds:
- use Table view if the data is naturally tabular
- put the full table in a spreadsheet / attachment and keep only a summary in the card
- collapse comments/activity when possible to reduce clutter
