## What a board is

Boards group feedback into buckets such as Features, Bugs, or a product area. Each request belongs to one board. New workspaces start with **Features** and **Bugs**.

Roadmap and Changelog are built-in workspace sections, not boards you create. You cannot pick a board type when creating a board.

## Board settings

Configure feedback boards from **Settings → Board Settings**:

| Setting | What it does |
|---------|--------------|
| **Public / Private** | Public boards are visible on your portal. Private boards are team-only. |
| **Allow Anonymous** | Let visitors submit without signing in. |
| **Allow Comments** | Enable or disable discussion on posts. |
| **Hide Public Member Identity** | Hide member names on the public site. |

Anonymous submissions, comments, and identity hiding apply across your feedback boards from this page. Public vs private is set per board.

## Create a board

1. Go to **Settings → Board Settings**
2. Click **Create board**
3. Enter a name and optional slug (for example `features`)
4. Save

Free plans include a limited number of boards. Starter and Professional raise or remove that limit.

## Roadmap and changelog

Use the sidebar **Roadmap** and **Changelog** pages to plan work and publish updates. Show or hide them on the public site and widget from **Settings → Feedback** (roadmap) and **Settings → Changelog**.

## Organization tips

Create separate boards for:

- Product areas (Mobile, Web, API)
- Feedback types (Feature requests, Bug reports)
- Internal vs customer-facing feedback

Use [tags](/docs/getting-started/organize-feedback) when a topic cuts across boards.
