Managing projects across multiple boards can be challenging — especially when you want to see how different departments are progressing without losing visibility.

With SIMB, you can send sub-items from one board as regular items to another board, keeping everything synced and easy to track.

⚙️ How to Add Sub-Items to Another Board

1️⃣ Go to your main board.

Navigate to the board that contains the item and its sub-items.

2️⃣ Select the sub-items you want to send.

Click the checkboxes next to the sub-items you’d like to add to another board.

3️⃣ Open the “Apps” menu.

At the bottom of your screen, click “Apps.”

4️⃣ Choose “Same Item Multiple Boards.”

From the list of available apps, select Same Item Multiple Boards (SIMB).

5️⃣ Select the destination board.

Pick the board where you want your sub-items to appear as regular items — for example, your department board (e.g., “Dev Team”).

You can also select a specific group within that board.

6️⃣ Wait for the sync to complete.

Once added, all selected sub-items will appear as new items on the target board.

Changes made on either board (like status updates or comments) will sync automatically.

💡 Tip:

Use this setup to manage projects across multiple departments. Each team can update their board independently — and you’ll still see all progress in your main project view!
