💬 FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Same Item Multiple Boards

Got questions about how the Same Item Multiple Boards (SIMB) app works?

Here are answers to the most common ones 👇

⚠️ I purchased a plan, but it says I’m over my limit — I haven’t used that many items!

There are actually two possible reasons you might see that alert:

1️⃣ You’ve reached the maximum number of unique boards.

2️⃣ You’ve reached the maximum number of unique items.

💡 Tip: Each shared item and each connected board counts toward your plan limits.

📊 Which column types are supported?

SIMB supports most column types, except for:

• Connected Boards
• Mirror Columns
• Formula Columns

➕ How do I add my items to multiple boards using the app?

Here’s the quick step-by-step guide:

1️⃣ Click on the item you want to add to another board.

2️⃣ Click the “+” icon to add a new item view.

3️⃣ Search for “Same Item Multiple Boards” in the app list.

4️⃣ Select the board where you want to add the item.

5️⃣ Click Add — and you’re done! 🎉

🔁 Note: Columns are shared automatically only if they:

• Have the same name across boards.
• Have the same column type.

🧩 Can I enable this for the whole board (not per item)?

Yes! 🙌

If you’re on a paid plan, you can use our automation recipes to sync all new items automatically.

Here’s how:

1️⃣ Go to your board’s Integration Center.

2️⃣ Search for “Same Item Multiple Boards”.

3️⃣ Choose the recipe that better describes the action you have in mind.

That’s it! From now on, every new item will be shared automatically.
