<!-- Generated from the Lucrii repository, docs/product/features/boards/boards.settings.md. Edit it there. -->

## What it does

Edit in the board heading opens the same form the board was created on, filled in. The title, the description, the team and the default-board tick are all editable there.

More Actions beside it holds View audit history, which opens the board's record of changes in a new tab, and Delete.

Deleting a board takes its cards off the board. The tasks themselves stay in your task list.

## Before you start

Edit and Delete appear for a team leader and above, and for the manager of the team the board belongs to. Everyone else reads the board without those controls, and without dragging.

Opening board settings by its web address is refused the same way.

Moving a board to a different team moves the right to edit it with it, so a board handed to a team you do not manage may stop being yours to change.

## How to use it

1. Open the board and select Edit.
2. Change the title, the description or the team.
3. Select Save.
4. To remove the board, select More Actions, then Delete, and confirm.

Leaving the settings form with changes you have not saved asks you first.

## Troubleshooting

If your team memberships cannot be checked, the page says so and asks you to try again.
