1 on your keyboard or using the Fizzy menu (J).
Navigating around Fizzy is fast and simple. Click Fizzy at the top of the screen or hit J on your keyboard to pop open the menu.
The menu is accessible on every page and lets you see the cards that are assigned to you, ones you've assigned to others, boards, tags, people and more. Use the keyboard shortcuts to move around Fizzy even faster.
If you're working in multiple Fizzy accounts, you'll see an **Accounts** section at the bottom of the menu. Click to expand the section, then select the account you want to switch to.
It's easy to find things in Fizzy. On the bottom of every page, you'll see any cards you've pinned on the left, any new notifications you've received on the right, and a search function right in the middle of the two.
To search Fizzy, click **Search** from the bottom menu or press K on your keyboard to bring up the search bar.
Boards
Boards organize your cards and help you follow the progress. Cards can be used to track issues, bugs, ideas, features, projects, or even chores — anything that needs to get done.
***
###Add a board
With Fizzy, it's all about ease. Create boards in three different ways: open the Fizzy menu (J) and click +Add a board; head to your Home Screen and click the Add a board button; or press B on your keyboard from the Home Screen or any activity page.
***
###View a board
Quickly access your boards from the Fizzy menu (J). Use the Jump bar or click a board listed in the **Boards** section.
Click the "gear" icon located to the top-right of a board to access its settings.
Everyone can see who has access to the board, what the auto-close settings are for cards on this board, and whether a public link is enabled.
Administrators can change the board's settings and delete the board.
Cards
Getting things done just feels better with Fizzy — and you’ll do it all using cards.
Cards are simple and have everything you need to make progress — add steps, post comments, assign the card to someone else, and more! We've raised the bar and you'll really feel it after creating your first card.
***
###Add a new card
Similar to boards, we've made it easy to create cards. You can make a new card from the Home Screen or from a board — click the Add a card button or hit Con your keyboard.
***
###Add a step to your card
Some tasks require multiple steps. Click the **Add a step...** link located on the bottom-left, above the card's creator. When you're finished typing, hit return (Mac) or enter (Windows) on your keyboard to save.
***
###Assign a card
When collaborating with others, you can assign cards by clicking the "Add a person" icon located on the bottom-right and select the person from the pop-up menu.
###Tag a card
Save time by grouping related cards together using tags. For example, an electrician can open the Fizzy menu, select the **Electric** tag, and they'll see all the electrical needs across all boards in a snap.
Add a tag by clicking the "tag" icon located at the top of the card or by hitting T on your keyboard. This'll open a menu where you can add a new tag, select an existing tag, and remove a tag.
***
###Edit a card
You've got three options here: click the card title to open the text editor; click the **Edit** button; or press E on your keyboard. Any of these actions will open the text editor.
Save your changes by hitting CMD + Return (Mac) or CTRL + Enter (Windows) on your keyboard or clicking the Save changes button.
***
###Edit or delete a step
Changing a step is effortless — click the step, start typing to make changes, and hit the checkmark to save. Or, click the trash icon to delete it. That's it.
Referencing another card is easy in Fizzy. Simply type a # in the comment section or in the card description and a list of your cards will appear. Continue typing the card number or scroll through the list and click the card you're referencing. A link to that card will appear so you can navigate to that card right away.

###Move a card
As work progresses, you'll move it to a different column so you can quickly see its status on the board. When looking at a board, simply drag and drop a card between columns to move it.

Sometimes, you'll want to move a card to another board. To do that, click the board banner on the top-left and select the new board from the drop-down menu.

Upload your export ZIP file on the following screen and hit the `Start Import` button.
Fizzy's Auto close feature makes it simple to keep your boards current so you can stay focused on what matters now.
***
###Changing Auto close settings
The default Auto close setting is 30 days, but administrators can change this for all cards in the account or for cards in a specific board. If you're the one who created the board, you have the power to change the Auto Close setting for that board.
To change the default Auto close setting for the entire account, click the number of days on the dial.
To override that global Auto close setting, administrators or the board creator will access the board settings by clicking the "gear" icon located to the top-right of a board and change the number of days there.
Boards with cards that are nearing the Auto close date will show a bubble at the top of the column.
To see the inactive card, you'll expand the column and click the card with the Auto close bubble.
Any activity on the card will reset the Auto close countdown — posting a comment, changing the assignee, moving the card to another column or board, etc. will keep the card from moving to the "Not Now" column.
Your profile is where you'll see everything about you — your personal information, the cards you're a part of, what you've been up to in Fizzy, your login link and passkeys. You can also export the data of all cards you have access to here.
To get there, you'll open the Fizzy menu (J) and click the **My Profile** option located in the **Settings** section.
To edit your profile, click the "pencil" icon located to the right of your avatar to edit your name, change your email address, and upload your avatar image.
Staying on top of your work is simple with Fizzy's notifications.
***
Fizzy will notify you when you're assigned a card, @mentioned, or when a comment is posted in a card you're watching.
Your new notifications will be stacked nicely on the bottom-right of every page, just opposite of your pinned cards.
Click the stack to see all of your new notifications. You'll also see options to head to your notification settings, previously read items, and clear your notification stack.
Click the **See older items** option to access all notifications, including your previously read ones.
If you see some previously read notifications that you don't want to forget about, pop them into your notification stack by clicking the "unseen" icon next to the notifications you want to mark as unread.
You can also access your notifications from the All notifications option in the Fizzy menu (J).
You're in charge — choose what, how, and when you're notified.
There are three places to access your notification settings: the **Notifications settings** in the Fizzy menu (J); the "gear" icon on your Notifications page; or the **Settings** option in **Notification** tray on bottom navigation bar.
Here you can choose which boards you're notified about, enable push notifications, and decide how often you'll receive email notifications.
Push notifications are controlled by the browser you're using. If you're not receiving push notifications, click the **Not receiving notifications?** button and follow the instructions that open below.

Can I move cards up or down in a column?
Fizzy is different than the traditional Kanban board so it's not possible to move cards within a column. But! You can move a card to the top of a column by setting it as a Golden Ticket.
Can I rename the NOT NOW, MAYBE, and DONE columns?
Currently, default columns can’t be edited like custom columns.
Can I reorder the steps in a card?
You can edit or delete a step, but there isn't an option to change the order.
Can I create board or card templates?
For now, all boards and cards are created from scratch.
Can I auto assign cards to myself?
At the moment, you’ll assign cards manually.
Can I edit or delete tags?
No need! Fizzy will automatically delete any unused tags on a daily basis.
Can I add other people to watch a board?
You can only choose the boards you'd like to watch.
Can you edit another person's information like name, avatar image, or change their email address?
Personal information can only be updated by the that person.
If I delete a card, does it count against the 1000 cards?
Yes, every card you create is counted, even cards that are deleted later. Each card ID increments by 1, so the next card you create will always show you how many cards you've created so far.
Can I export data from Fizzy?
Yes! If you're an administrator, you'll see an export option on the Account settings page.
Is there dark mode?
Yes! You can set your Fizzy to dark mode from the My profile page.
Why don't I have a password?
Fizzy doesn't use a password — you'll be emailed a code instead! The code will expire after 15 minutes so if you don't get to it on time, you'll just send yourself a new one.
Does Fizzy integrate with Basecamp, GitHub, Slack, or other tools?
Fizzy doesn't currently offer two-way integration with other products, however, Fizzy uses Webhooks to send events (new card created, card assigned, card completed, etc) from Fizzy into a Campfire room, Slack channel, or any other tool that can receive data via Webhooks.
Can we import data from other services into Fizzy?
We don't currently offer importing data from other services (like Basecamp, Trello, GitHub Issues, Jira, etc) into Fizzy. We'd like to offer this down the road, but it's not part of the current release.
Can we really install Fizzy on our own servers for free?
Yes, Fizzy is Open Source and you can download the code from GitHub and run the product on your own server (or another hosted server you pay for). Be sure to review the Fizzy software license if you'll be running or modifying it for your own use.
Are there any Al features?
We didn't add artificial intelligence, we just removed all the stupid from typical kanban implementations. No bloat, lots of speed, plenty of power, and a fun Ul. Try it.
