Where is board menu and archived card menu???
Asked by iam1515 2242t:

It is so dumb that to delete a card i had to archive it first i cant just delete it. Im new at trello and was trying to delete a card, i followed tutorial, it says i must archive first, then go to archived card menu and delete the card there, and so i archived the card, but now i had no idea how the heck to access the archived card menu.

In the official tutorial by atlassian on how to delete card <https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/archiving-and-deleting-cards/>, to go to the archived card menu i must go to "board menu". This is the image of the menu from the tutorial (it was top right of the page)

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/257382i3634A2F0466B544F/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

And this is the top right UI of the current trello board page

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/257383iD0D1987615C3D7FF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

Yes the board menu is not there, and there is not a single button there that shows the board menu like what the tutorials shows. I searched google and some websites says that the board menu button is in the bottom right of the page, this is what the bottom part of the trello page looks like

![image.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/257385i426DA5355FE429DE/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

Yes the board menu is not there either. Judging by the image the tutorial is probably outdated, the devs probably at some point updated the UI but makes no effort to update the tutorial whatsoever. I might be wrong but dont blame me because im already frustrated enough from this.

So straighforward question, can anyone please help me by telling me how to access the archived card menu?

This is the second question regarding card deletion I have answered in the past 24 hours. Please cake a few seconds to look at this question:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-questions/card-deleting/qaq-p/2360669>

I'll reiterate that the reason why Trello keeps the archive \> delete process is exactly the same reason most software has an "are you sure?" popup when you delete. Once something is deleted, it is permanent and that permanence would be more of an issue for most than having something in archive that is recoverable.

Since that article was written, Trello has had some UI redesign.

Here are the steps to access the archive menu as of now:

![Archive.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/257453iAD3EA690B1A2E74A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Archive.png")Try not to be frustrated by this, no software is perfect. In fact, imperfection is necessary in all forms of life [?](https://emojipedia.org/grinning-face/)

card deleting
Asked by Krissy Lee:

Regarding any potentially planned updates, can there be a "delete" button included in the fly menu of individual cards, and a bulk delete function for lists? Having to open each card and scroll to the Card Delete button is time consuming, especially when you want to delete multiple cards at once. Archiving cards and deleting them from the archive isn't much of a time saver either, and still has to be done one card at a time. The only bulk delete function I've found is 3rd party and charges a fee. I'm already paying a subscription fee for Trello; I dont think it should cost more for a simple function like delete. This is the ONE thing that makes Trello a bit annoying to use and I've begun to use other project managers simply because task maintenance is so much easier.

body: Hi [@Krissy Lee](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5219836)

I think Trello can't win here, if they made it easier to **delete**cards, they would have complaints that people have accidentally deleted stuff and once it is deleted it is not recoverable.

Can I ask why archiving isn't sufficient?

There are some options to make archiving simpler:

* You can create automations for bulk archive by a board button
* You can create a an automation button on the card to archive, which will be visible without scroll
* You can quickly archive cards by hovering the curser over the card and hitting the **C** key
* You could use butler rules auto archive
* If you use the archive feature within that particular board and thus want to keep it clean and relevant, you could use automation to move cards to an "Archive" board.

comments: author: Krissy Lee
body: I'm currently using the 3rd and 5th options, guess I'll stick with that. Thank you!


author: Andrea F
body: I use a power-up by Kolekti called Card Delete. It takes two clicks to fully delete, which serves as protection from accidental deletion.


author: Krissy Lee
body: I use that as well, but I wish there was a way to easily delete cards from the fly menu instead of having to open each card, and to be able to delete multiple cards at once. I was using a 3rd party app for multiple deletes, but of course now that has a fee attached and it will only let you select so many at a time anyway.

checking off checklist items that are each linked cards
Asked by Jason knight:

Good afternoon,

I created a rule that when an item is added to check list "Conditions" that i converts it to a linked card.

The parent card will have multiple condition items in the checklist so it may create 8-10 different cards.

I would like to create a button on the child card that would check off the item in the checklist on the parent card.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time

Button rule, "find the first card linked in attachments and check the item "Triggercardlink"

![Screenshot 2023-05-16 092118.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/257454i7B20F4BC17B69F9A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screenshot 2023-05-16 092118.png")

Couple of caveats with this rule:

1) Works best if you only have 1 card linked as an attachment on the child card

2) If the child card is on a different board to the parent, the person who clicks the button would have to be a member of both.

The alternative is have a done button on the child card, which sets the due date as done, then set up a rule "when the due date is complete on a card, find the first card linked in attachments and check item {triggercardlink}"

body: awesome. great info, thanks!


author: Jason knight
body: [@Dreamsuite Mike](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5153180) I can't seem to make this one work. I'll explain it one more time so you can see where my error might be.

I have a board named K sales.

On this board i want to make a sale card.

On this sales card i can push a button called "service" that creates a checklist called "service" and at the same time it copies the card to a different board called "K Service".

I have it setup that when i add checklist items on the parent card which is located on "K sales" board. It also adds those same checklist items to the child board which is located on "K service board.

Where i am absolutely stuck is getting the parent card checklist items to automatically check themselves off when the child card check list items get checked off one by one.

Is there any way of doing this? Do i need to start from scratch and set it up differently or is this not possible at all.


author: Jack Henderson
body: [@Jason knight](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5216129) can I ask how you set up that initial rule? Trying to do the same.

Names of cards not showing
Asked by Amy Vitulli:

I have cards linked between Trello boards. When I add to a list, it creates a card on another board. Up until recently, I've been able to see the name and the list that card was in on the original card. Now, I only see a url- how do I get it to revert to the name of the card and the list?![Trello.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/257368iB5B4CB1B02D6EF34/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Trello.png")


Answers:
author: Dreamsuite Mike
body: This has occured before and these steps normally correct it.

1. Log out of Trello
2. Clear browser cache
3. Restart browser
4. Log back into Trello

comments: author: Amy Vitulli
body: Funnily enough, this only started after I cleared my cache. However, clearing again temporarily fixed this issue.


author: Amy Vitulli
body: Ok- not a viable solution. It's back to showing the same way today and I can't clear my cache daily.


author: Dreamsuite Mike
body: Do you have any browser extensions running?


author: Amy Vitulli
body: I'm using clockify (was using before this issue) as well as Lastpass (also using before the issue) none of the other extensions run always and none are new.


author: Dreamsuite Mike
body: It may be Clockify extension. Trello has updated the linked cards in checklists to utilise 'smartlinks' and perhaps this has broken something with the Clockify extension. Try disabling Clockify and see if the issue is resolved.


author: Amy Vitulli
body: No luck. Disabled, exited chrome... still having the issue.


author: Dreamsuite Mike
body: You may need to clear cache once more and see how it goes with that disabled...

I would say steps after this are:

1. If no issues with Clockify, try disabling Lastpass...just to be sure.
2. Do you or any other member have automations that convert checklist items to linked cards? If so, check the command log and make sure it isn't in a loop where when it converts to a linked card, it is adding it back into the checklist.
3. Contact [Trello Support](https://trello.com/contact) and they will be able to delve deeper into the issue than I can on here...

card repeater power-up not working
Asked by Glenn Levine:

I use the card repeat power up. I tried to change a date on the repeat, but when I did so and clicked save, the save went gray, a rollover of the save button shows a circle with slash through it, and the only option I have is to click "x" in the top right and cancel the change. I tried deleting the card and adding a new one, and the same behavior prevents me from setting the repeat date to begin with. I tried restarting the app, and got the same behavior.


Answers:
author: Dreamsuite Mike
body: Hi Glenn,

I am not sure if anything has changed with card repeater recently but it is possible to create a recurring task engine using custom fields and automation. It can be exactly like card repeater but you can also make it do so much more...

If this gets 10 votes or more, I'll create an article on how to do it [?](https://emojipedia.org/grinning-face/)

How do I isolate automations per list?
Asked by Talia Rosengarten:

I have a list consisting of cards and checklists that have automations regarding starting the next task, etc.

I need to duplicate this list, but have the automations only be applicable for that list.


Answers:
author: Talia Rosengarten
body: Hi Mike!

Thanks for the feedback.

So If I do this \& then duplicate the list, will I have to go back into the automation and change it every time?

comments: author: Dreamsuite Mike
body: If you use the condition, it will only execute the automations for the first list. You make this change only once and it will apply permanently.

Only thought,

when you duplicate the list, do you give it a different name to the original?


author: Talia Rosengarten
body: Yes, the duplicated list has a different name to the original...

I need the automation process to run with the duplication, but for the automations to be isolated per list.


author: Dreamsuite Mike
body: Okay, understood. Originally I thought you were looking to just isolate the automations to the first list and not apply to the duplicated list.

Just to try and understand. You have list A, with automations that execute based on certain triggers. When you copy list A to make list B, do you want automations to be executed on list B as soon as it is created or just when the same triggers occur?

What triggers are you using in your automations?


author: Dreamsuite Mike
body: Hi [@Talia Rosengarten](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5219455)

For the list when you want the automations to exectute, you'll have to modify the automation trigger to include a "in list name..." condition.

Add card comments to the Trello Power-Up API.

Currently, there is no capability to extract comments from the Power-Up API. It would be useful to be able to extract comments from selected cards.

Google Calendar Sync
Asked by zoomnclick:

I've looked around to try and find if this is possible, but I'm yet to find a solution that shows me it can.

1. I am assigned to 2 Trello boards in my organization. I would like to see cards from both of them in my iCal and/or Google Calendar apps. I understand that the Calendar Power-Up allows me to do this, but it seems to be on a per board basis. Is there any way to see the cards from both boards without having to sync them as separate calendars in Google / iCal?

2. I want to see ONLY the cards assigned to me. When using the Calendar power up sync, I'm seeing cards assigned to other members also. What's the way to get only my cards synced to my Google calendar?


Answers:
author: Dreamsuite Mike
body: Hi [@zoomnclick](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4528902)

Some options to explore:

Option 1 - Use a powerup to sync, my preference is to use [Cronofy](https://trello.com/power-ups/5a1d81359fcdfd9011c0a698/cronofy) but Planyway also supports calendar sync. Yes, this is applied per-board but they sync directly into your existing Google calendar instead of creating new ones per board

Option 2 - You could use an integration tool like Zapier to do this...I actually have been using <https://integrately.com/> and it am enjoying the experience compared to Zapier. There is also Make.com and Pably that do similar.

Option 3 - Could you learn to be within the Trello ecosystem completely, using the Trello calendar, notifications and the Home function within Trello to have a complete solution?

comments: author: zoomnclick
body: I can't agree to option 3 simply because Trello doesn't allow for a custom notification time option. The preset reminder periods don't work for me and I need to set custom reminder/notification alerts based on the severity of the card that is due

I am not 100% sure on the question you are asking but will explain that the boards that display there are the ones that you have access to, meaning that you will be a member of the board. So this will apply to any other members in the workspace, they will only see the boards they are members of in this list. If you want to limit what others see then control that by not including them as members on the boards you don't want them to see

author: Dreamsuite Mike
body: That list there is not a project's boards, its your boards. You will see boards within this workspace that you are a member to.

If another person is only a member of blue board but not maroon, they will only see blue board there

If you want them to be completely separated, even from you, you should consider having a different workspace per project

I recommend to get more attention to it internally at Trello, to raise a support request and let the wonderful support team pick this up for you:

The questions they will inevitably ask:

body: Hi [@CafeFXR777](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5218534) and welcome to the community,

Trello is a task/project management software which you can use alone or with your team. It has many functionalities to describe in a single post, and I would suggest to create a free account and try it. The notion behind it is:

* You have boards
* In these boards you create lists
* On this lists you place tasks
* On the tasks you can also have checklists (for minor tasks)

You can learn more about Trello here: <https://trello.com/> and <https://trello.com/guide/trello-101>

comments: author: Dreamsuite Mike
body: To add to what Alex has said, The one thing that for me sets Trello above the competition is that it can be for pretty much anything. It is so flexible, open and powerful that you can use it in any part of work or life...if you use your imagination. Here are just some examples for what I have used it for in life and work:

* Shopping planner and list
* Meal planner
* Fitness calendar
* Travel planner
* Birthday and anniversary tracker
* Brain dump and note taker
* Customer and contact database
* Sales pipeline
* Customer support helpdesk
* Accounting
* Daily routine
* Business planning
* Project management

This is just some of the things I have used it for and for my clients, I build out anything they ask for in Trello and this has covered so many parts of business, so many sectors, from 1 person businesses all the way up to multi-national
