Can I make swimlanes to appear folded by default instead of unfolded?

[Nikita Lozovoy]

I have set up my Kanban dashboard to show certain JIRA items in certain swimlanes. Now when I open the board I can see the swimlanes with the items inside alright but the first swimlane appear unfolded by default which is fine when there are just a few items there. But this becomes a bit of an issue when the number of items grouped in there is high (50+). Is there any way I can forcefully make my board appear with all of the swimlanes folded by default for any user that opens it?

@Nikita Lozovoy You can press the dash key ( - ) on your keyboard to automatically collapse all the swimlanes, and press the dash key again to re-expand them. This works on both kanban boards and sprint boards.
