Configure Kanban Swim Lane

Question

I'm trying to add a swim lane to my Kanban board. On it, in the upper right-hand corner of the board, there is the more icon (...) under which I should see Board settings. When I click on more, I see two menu items:

* Manage rules
* Hide cover images

How do I add a swim lane?

I am assigned to the administrators group, jira-administrators, jira-software-users, and site-admins groups. Thanks.

I was able to create swim lanes when I selected a Classic Kanban or Scrum board... thanks...

well....it used to be the type would indicate "Agility" at least that is how i remember it. Recently, they have changed it to say Software. No idea why they did that. :-(

Basically if you go to your project and you see something like below it is an agility project. I'm sure it is if you see "Manage rules".

Personally, I have not made the leap to Agility but I know some of my users have but not intentionally. Later they come to me asking why they can't do things they used to be able to. I really need to find some time to look at Agility more closely but low priority for me.

On the Projects page, my project shows "Software" under the Type column (others are Ops, Service Desk, and Business) ... is there a place where I would find out if it's Agility, Scrum, or Kanban?
