Board cannot be closed – “Close board” option missing

Elisabeth Lesche

I have one old board that behaves differently from all my other boards.

• I am the only remaining member.
• I am the board administrator.
• The board is private.
• All other boards show Close board → Delete board.
• This specific board does not show the Close board option at all. The menu ends with Report abuse.
• A copy of the board behaves normally and can be closed/deleted.

Hi @Elisabeth Lesche ,

Interesting case... Can you check what the current workspace status is? For example, if a Free Workspace has more than 10 collaborators, all boards within that Workspace become view-only until the number of members is reduced. In a view-only state, administrative actions like closing the board are disabled.

An alternative could be to potentially move the board to a personal Workspace or a different Free Workspace where you have full permissions.

1. Open the board menu.

2. Select More, then Settings.

3. Select Change Workspace and move it to a Workspace where you are the sole member.

Nothing else actually comes to my mind atm. So, the question is: is this board located in the same workspace as the rest, and what's the status of that workspace?

Cheers,
Tobi
