# Home

> Every board you can open on one page, with filters, search, a menu per board and a trash.

tiko opens on Home whenever the address names no board, also right after you sign in. A link to a board opens the board at once. The Home button at the left of the top bar, "All boards" at the end of the board menu and the browser's Back button all lead back here.

## Grid and list

Home lists every board you can open, the one changed last first. Each board shows its name, who owns it ("You" for your own) and when it was last changed. A globe marks a board with a public link, and "View only" a board you can only look at.

The grid shows a small picture of each board: sticky notes with their text, frames with their titles, task cards with their key, shapes, arrows and Gantts as bars, each in its place. Task titles are never in it, since they come from each person's own tracker access. The picture follows the board's changes within a minute, and only people who can open the board can see it. A board with nothing on it shows its first letter instead.

The two buttons next to the sort menu switch between the grid and a compact list without pictures. Your browser remembers the choice.

- **All**, **Mine** and **Shared with me** above the list split your own boards from the ones others shared with you. Each shows how many boards it holds.
- The sort menu at the right orders the list by last change or by name. Your browser remembers the choice.
- An admin also sees "Other boards in this workspace": boards nobody shared with them, which they can still open and manage. They show under All only.

## Stars and folders

The star next to a board's `⋯` button pins it: starred boards come first in every view and sort, and "Starred" at the left lists them alone. Click the star again to take it off.

Folders group boards your own way. Make one with the plus next to "Folders" at the left, type its name and press `Enter`. Move a board into a folder from its menu, "Move to folder", or drag the board onto the folder; drag it onto "All boards" to take it out again. A board sits in one folder at most, and it stays under All and in search wherever it is. A folder's `⋯` renames or deletes it; deleting a folder keeps its boards on Home. You can keep up to 100 folders.

Stars and folders are yours alone: nobody else sees them, and they change nothing about who can open a board. When a board stops being shared with you, it leaves your stars and folders too, and comes back without them if it is shared again. On a narrow screen the places sit in one row above the list.

## Trash

"Move to trash…" in the board menu, or dragging your board onto "Trash" at the left, moves the board to your trash for 30 days. Until then it is closed for everyone: people it is shared with lose it, its public link stops working and open tabs of it close. The toast that follows has an Undo.

"Trash" at the left lists your deleted boards with the days left before each goes for good. **Restore** brings a board back as it was, with everyone it was shared with, their roles, its public link and their stars and folders. The bin button deletes it for good after a confirmation; that cannot be undone. After 30 days a board goes by itself, within the hour.

A workspace admin sees the trash of everyone in the workspace and can restore any board in it; only the owner deletes a board for good. A board in the trash still counts toward the boards you may own until it is gone for good.

## Find a board

Press `/` or `⌘K` (`Ctrl+K`) on Home and type part of a name. The list keeps the boards whose name has every word you typed. `↑` and `↓` move the highlight, `Enter` opens the board, `Esc` clears the field.

## New board

"New board" makes a board named "Untitled board" and opens it with its name ready to type. Press `Enter` to keep the name you typed, or `Esc` to keep "Untitled board".

## The board menu

The `⋯` button of a board, or a right click on it, opens the board's menu:

| Item | Who sees it |
|---|---|
| Open | everyone |
| Star, Unstar | everyone |
| Rename | editors and the owner |
| Duplicate | everyone who can open the board |
| Export | everyone who can open the board |
| Share | everyone, except on the demo |
| Move to folder | everyone |
| Move to trash… | the owner, after a confirmation |

Duplicate makes a board of your own named "Copy of …" with the same content. Nobody else is on the copy and it has no public link, whoever the first board was shared with. A copy counts toward the boards you may own, where the server sets a limit.

Export saves the board as a `.tiko` file for another tiko; **Import** next to New board, or a `.tiko` file dropped on Home, makes a board from one. See [Move a board to another tiko](https://docs.tiko.run/moving-boards/).

`⌘`-click or a middle click on a board's name opens it in a new tab.
